Geography 

edit

Two parts of its territory are wooded: the forest of Mosières, in the north, and the end of the forest of the Abbaye-Giverzat, in the southwest.

Fleuriel is watered by the Veauvre, a stream that flows into the Bouble. The municipality is crossed by the provincial road 36, which provides access to Montmarault by the RD 46 northwest of the town, or to Chantelle by the RD 986 southeast.[3]
