Economy and Infrastructure

Xaronval was able to maintain its character as a farming village. To this day, most of the residents make a living from agriculture (especially grain and feed cultivation and dairy farming). Some smaller areas are planted with vines.

There is a small museum in the municipality that is open from May to September. Among other things, an old forge and toys from earlier eras are shown.

Three connecting roads lead from Xaronval to the surrounding communities. The Charmes connection to the autobahn-like national road 57 ( Metz - Nancy - Épinal ) is ten kilometers east of Xaronval. The nearest train station is in the nearby municipality of Diarville on the Nancy – Dijon line .
