Cit'Hotel Le Mirage

All four categories have a private bathroom, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV. Options range from a single room to a Family Suite, with layouts for one person, a couple or a family. The Grand Confort rooms measure 22 m²; one accommodates two people and the other can sleep up to three.

Views vary by room: some overlook the garden or swimming pool, and one also has a view of the inner courtyard. The single room measures 18 m². For a family stay, the 35 m² suite has two interconnecting bedrooms and a kitchenette. It also stands out for its bathtub designed for two people. Amenities and bed configurations vary by category.

The garden and sun terrace provide places to sit outdoors, with outdoor furniture and an outdoor dining area. There is also a picnic area for dining outside. For relaxation, the hotel has a shared lounge with a TV, a billiards table and sun loungers or beach chairs around the swimming pool.

The on-site café, bar and in-room breakfast service make up the dining options; breakfast is also served in the Le Lagon room beside the swimming pool. Luggage storage, private check-in and check-out, and express check-in make arrivals and departures easier. Activities include walking tours, cycling, hiking and horse riding. Daily housekeeping and room service are also available.

Istres stretches along the shores of Étang de Berre, in a Provençal landscape of waterside areas, residential neighbourhoods and green spaces. The town has a more tranquil atmosphere than the region's larger centres, while offering access to coastal activities and outings in Bouches-du-Rhône. Romaniquette Beach lets you enjoy the lakeshore; municipal parks provide walking routes through the neighbourhoods.

Porte d'Arles recalls the town's history, while the centre and its churches can be explored on foot. Pourra Nature Reserve and Domaine du Ranquet offer a different setting for observing the region's natural habitats. Istres railway station connects the town to the regional rail network, and Marseille-Provence Airport is a gateway for travellers arriving by air. The hotel's private parking is convenient for exploring the surrounding area by car. You can also visit the village of Saint-Mitre-les-Remparts or the leisure areas around Figuerolles.

Spring and the shoulder season are good times for walks and excursions, when temperatures are milder. In summer, the days are well suited to relaxing by the water; the Provençal sun can be strong around midday. You can spend the morning exploring Istres's lanes and monuments, then head to the lakeshore or a beach for the afternoon. Parks and nature trails offer an alternative to beach outings, particularly on windy days.
