Experience Provence differently – Our getaway ideas from your home in Istres
Welcome to our inspiration notebook!
Are you staying in our house with a pool in Istres? Here are our ideas for unforgettable experiences , combining sea, nature, gastronomy, and culture.
🧺 1. Sunset picnic on the banks of the Berre pond
Just 5 minutes from the house, relax and unwind by the water with a gourmet basket of local cheeses, tapenade, and chilled rosé. A simple and magical moment as the sun sets.
🏛️ 2. Day in Arles: art, ruins and Roman atmosphere
Stroll through the narrow streets of Arles, visit the arenas and the Van Gogh Museum, then enjoy lunch on a terrace in a shaded square. A cultural getaway just 45 minutes away.
🌿 3. Walk in the Alpilles and visit Les Baux-de-Provence
A perfect itinerary to combine nature and heritage: Leave early, climb to the hilltop village of Les Baux, then treat yourself to an olive oil tasting or a Michelin-starred lunch in Maussane-les-Alpilles.
🛶 4. Relaxation for two in the coves of the Côte Bleue
Set off by kayak from Carry-le-Rouet or Niolon and discover the wild coves with turquoise waters. Masks and snorkels are recommended!
🍽️ 5. Romantic dinner in a charming restaurant
Reserve a table in Martigues or Miramas-le-Vieux for a gourmet evening for two. We'll be happy to share our favorite spots once your reservation is confirmed.
