The commune covers an area of 12.41 km² (4.79 sq mi). Alain Chane is the mayor for the 2020-2026 tenure.

In the past, inhabitants of Moncel were known by their neighbours as culs crottés ("shit arses"), on account of the unusually clingy mud of their village.Graham Robb, The Discovery of France, p36, Picador (2007), {{ISBN|978-0-330-42761-6}}, citing Vital Collet "Sobriquets caractérisant les habitants de villages lorrains" in Le Pays lorrain, Nancy (1908), pp442-449 and Henri-Adolphe Labourasse, "Anciens us, coutumes, légendes, supersititions, préjugés, etc. du département de la Meuse" in Mémoires de la Société des lettres, sciences et art de Bar-le-Duc, 1902, pp3-225
