The countryside around Le Domaine de la Tapie de Bouchet stretches between Arles and the open landscapes of the Camargue. Here, mas, farmland and wetlands make up a Provençal setting that differs from the old streets of central Arles. The area suits travellers looking for days outdoors, cycle rides and self-contained accommodation, while still being able to visit the city's cultural attractions.

Domaine de l'étang des Aulnes is 2.8 km away; its lake and natural areas invite you to walk and take in the scenery. Maison de la Transhumance, 2.9 km away, explores pastoral traditions and the links between livestock farming and Mediterranean landscapes. The Marais du Vigueirat Nature Reserve has trails and opportunities to spot wetland wildlife. Arles offers remarkable Roman heritage, including its ancient amphitheatre and historic remains.

A car makes it easier to travel between the villages, natural areas and Arles, while Saint-Martin-de-Crau railway station is 5 km away. For a day out, you can spend the morning walking in the marshes, then head to Arles to visit its monuments and explore the narrow streets of the old town. Spring and autumn temperatures are often pleasant for walking or cycling. In summer, it is best to plan outdoor activities for early morning or late afternoon, when it is cooler.
