Havange is located between the communes of Tressange in the North, Rochonvillers in the Northeast, Angevillers in the East, Fontoy in the South and Boulange in the West. The village isn't really special compared to its neighbors. Its only historical monuments are the Saint Jean-Baptiste church and a casemate part of the Maginot Line located on the fields. But despite being in the countryside, the village is very well linked to the cities farther away as it is connected to the A30 autoroute to go to Metz, Southwestern Luxembourg or Belgium and located in the beginning of the D14 Dual carriageway to go to Thionville or Luxembourg (via the A31 autoroute), where most of the people work, go shopping or travel by air or train.
