It is located near La Châtre, on the D943, approximately 36 km (22 mi) southeast of Châteauroux and consists of two villages, Vic and Nohant, extended along the road.
The commune lies on the lower Jurassic rocks at the southern margin of the Paris Basin. Just to the south of La Châtre, some twelve kilometres south of Vic, the Variscan-faulted rocks of the Massif Central begin with Cambrian/Ordovician migmatite.
It is near the southern end of the old province of Berry.

The House of George Sand is a country house dating from late eighteenth century, built for the governor of Vierzon and acquired in 1793 by Madame Dupin de Francueil, grandmother of the writer. George Sand spent her childhood and adolescence there. Most of her writing was done at the house. She received some illustrious guests including Liszt and Marie d'Agoult, Balzac, Chopin and Flaubert. Delacroix also worked at Nohant while visiting George Sand.[4] The estate is today a property of the nation and run by the Centre des monuments nationaux.[5]
The ancient church of Saint-Martin in Nohant-Vic features a number of 12th century wall paintings.[6]
