It is subdivided by the valley of the village stream of Chambornay. The plateau is mostly made up of arable and meadow land, but also shows some forest areas.

In the Middle Ages, the village belonged to the Free County of Burgundy and in it to the area of the Bailliage d'Amont . Local rule was held by the monastery of Gigny, which left the area to a Benedictine priory founded here. Together with Franche-Comté , Chambornay finally came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678.

Today there are some local small businesses. In the last few decades the village has transformed into a residential community. Many workers are therefore commuters who go to work in the larger towns in the area and in the Besançon agglomeration.
The place is away from the larger thoroughfares on a department road that leads from Marnay to Étuz. The closest connection to the A36 motorway is around 13 km away. Other road connections exist with Sauvagney and Gézier-et-Fontenelay.
