Les Baux-de-Provence is a hilltop village in the Alpilles, known for its stone lanes, houses clustered on the slopes and far-reaching views over the Provençal hills. The surrounding landscape combines olive groves, scrubland and rocky slopes. Le Mas de l'Oulivié is set in this rural landscape, near the village and the paths that cross the mountain range. The region suits travellers who want to alternate heritage visits, walks and stops in villages, with the Provençal scenery as a common thread.

The village of Les Baux-de-Provence is 1.7 km away; its lanes lead to Château des Baux-de-Provence, whose ruins overlook the Alpilles. The village's sights also include Musée Yves Brayer and Musée des Santons. At 1.8 km, Golf du Domaine de Manville offers a course amid olive groves and hills. Further afield, Arles and its Arènes, 13 km away, offer a glimpse of Roman heritage. Tarascon railway station is 12 km away, while Nîmes-Alès-Camargue-Cévennes Airport is 28 km away. A car makes it easier to travel between the villages and sites in the mountain range.

In spring and autumn, temperatures are suitable for walks in the Alpilles and visits to the villages. In summer, days are hot and the early hours are more pleasant for walking; the swimming pool offers a chance to take a break afterwards. You could start the day with a walk through the lanes of Les Baux, continue with a visit to the château, then head to Maussane-les-Alpilles or Paradou to discover the atmosphere of neighbouring communes. Hiking enthusiasts can spend another day on the mountain trails, taking water and sun protection.
