Visiting Istres as a Family
With a population of 40,000 inhabitants, Istres is also a nature-friendly destination: you can hike south, discovering the ponds of Lavaduc, Citis, Pourra or Engrenier, or follow the marked trails of La Crau, the Côte Bleue or the Camargue. The region also lends itself particularly well to cycling, whether on small roads or on marked paths.
Families will enjoy their vacations in Istres, with many animations and activities dedicated to them. A treasure hunt is organized in the town centre: by picking up your guide at the Tourist Office, you can solve the riddles and go in search of the forgotten treasures of the historical centre. The Dinosaur’Istres park, accessible free of charge, offers a walk in the middle of life-size dinosaur reconstructions.
The town of Istres is also appreciated for its proximity to the beaches: the Mediterranean is only a few kilometers away and many seaside resorts offer a wide range of water sports.
