With an area of ​​187 hectares, the very small municipality extends between the two rivers Ruisseau Lanénos and Arros , which run parallel to the north and border the municipality to the west and east. In between lies the village of Jacque on the ridge of a long range of hills, which in the north reaches the highest point at 295 m above sea level and is thus 100 meters above the Arros bank. The river valleys form fertile arable landscapes. Remnants of alluvial forests have been preserved along the rivers; the slopes of the range of hills are forested. The hamlets of Le Bédat and Le Bois belong to the municipality . Jacque is surrounded by the neighboring communities of Laméac in the north, Chelle-Debat in the east, Marseillan in the south, Bouilh-Péreuilh in the west and Peyrun in the northwest.
