48h à Istres, la Provence des étangs

The etang de l’Olivier is a central place in Istres, a landscaped jewel in the town.

DINOSAUR'ISTRES, a walk among the ‘great figures’ of the Dinosaurs in Istres, in the Castellan hill forest, a recognised site for remarkable archaeology and Provençal biodiversity.

Now being used fully, the etang is the first choice for locals and holidaymakers, particularly in summer, with water sports, beaches, and all the facilities for a great day with friends and family.

On the etang de Berre, the Romaniquette and Ranquet beaches are supervised from June to September and have all the necessary facilities for a family day out.
