About
La Vendue-Mignot is located in an area devoted to agriculture and forestry, and belongs to the canton of Les Riceys.

It takes the form of an extended village-street, between two main historical centers: the village of La Vendue-Mignot and the hamlet of Beaucaron. The built-up area also includes a number of small villages, such as the Marivas farm and a few buildings on the edge of the Bordes Aumont finage.
