Argentat is situated on the Dordogne River, to the south west of Bort-les-Orgues. It is the point where the Maronne, a tributary of the Dordogne, converges with the famous river. It lies on the border of three regions, Limousin, Midi-Pyrénées and Auvergne, although it officially lies within the Limousin region.
