Eaux-Puiseaux is about halfway between the cities of Troyes on the edge of the 60 km long and up to 20 km wide forest area Forêt d'Othe . The municipal area of ​​8.61 km² has no surface running water, which is due to the calcareous subsoil. The ground relief slopes slightly to the south and some dry valleys can drain excess water southwards in the direction of the Armance River valley during heavy rain or snowmelt .

Eaux-Puiseaux is surrounded by the neighboring communities of Maraye-en-Othe in the north, Auxon in the east and south and Vosnon in the west.
