La Bouille is bordered by the River Seine, and the views of the river are particularly beautiful, especially at sunrise or sunset, when the golden reflections illuminate the surrounding houses and cliffs. The village is surrounded by green hills, which add to its bucolic charm and make it ideal for walks and hikes offering exceptional views over the Seine valley.
