The commune is about 50 km south-east of Mont-de-Marsan and 50 km north by north-east of Pau.

The D317 from Aydie in the south-east passes through the western area of the commune before continuing south-west to join the D205. The commune is mixed forest and farmland.[3]
The Larcis river forms the western border of the commune as it flows north-west to join the Léez north-west of Ségos. The Boutigue forms the north-eastern border as it flows east to join the Sager east of the commune.[3]
The commune name in béarnais is Aubons. Michel Grosclaude proposed an etymology from the Latin man's name Albus with the suffix -ones, the whole meaning "Domain of Albus".[11]
