The rim of the crater is slightly distorted although generally circular. The inner floor is flat but rough with no central peak. There are a pair of small craterlet depressions in the middle instead of a central peak. The associated crater Gay-Lussac A is nearly joined to the southeast rim.To the southwest is a wide rille named Rima Gay-Lussac.
