Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer lies in the Rhône delta, in the Camargue, between marshes, lagoons and the Mediterranean coast. The region is known for its wide-open spaces and landscapes, where you can spot horses, bulls and waterbirds. The mas is on the road to Arles, in a rural area dotted with hamlets and estates. This location suits travellers who want to explore the Camargue by car, walk in the countryside and reach the beaches from a setting away from the lively village centre.

Pont de Gau Ornithological Park, 4.5 km away, has marked trails where you can observe flamingos and other birds in their natural habitat. The Château d’Avignon departmental estate is 3.2 km away; this Camargue château and its park tell the story of an agricultural estate in the region. The beaches and centre of Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer are accessible by car. Arles, with its Roman monuments and museums, makes for a cultural day trip inland. The railway station listed nearby is 9 km away; a car makes it easier to travel between the scattered sites across the delta.

Spring and autumn are pleasant seasons for walks and birdwatching, with generally milder temperatures than in the height of summer. Summer is a good time to enjoy the beaches and swimming pool, but brings more visitors to the coast. You could start the day with a visit to the ornithological park, stop in the village of Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer and finish by the Mediterranean. In summer, you can book cart rides with gardians and bulls.
