La Palmeraie

La Palmeraie’s accommodation includes family rooms with private bathrooms and tents with shared bathrooms. The rooms with known sizes range from 14 to 19 m²; another tent has no stated size. Several units have lake and garden views, and the tents also overlook the swimming pool. Each type of accommodation has a terrace.

The family rooms differ in their facilities: one has air conditioning and a flat-screen TV, while another includes a kitchen, a fridge and a coffee machine. Sleeping arrangements vary by unit, with single and double beds. The two tents each sleep four people and have different bed configurations. The family room with a kitchen sleeps up to three people, while the other family room can accommodate four guests.

La Palmeraie offers an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, a terrace and outdoor furniture. There is a picnic area where you can eat outside. Free private parking is available on site, and free Wi-Fi is available in some rooms. A continental breakfast is served on site; coffee is also available, and you can have breakfast in your room.

You can go walking, cycling, hiking, canoeing, windsurfing and fishing around the property. Board games and puzzles are available for quieter moments. Check-in and check-out are private. The swimming pool has a shallow end, and sun loungers are provided. You can enjoy a swim and the garden before setting out to explore the area around Istres.

Istres lies in Bouches-du-Rhône, between Étang de Berre and Étang de l’Olivier. This Provençal town combines residential neighbourhoods, walking areas and access to the shores. The landscape alternates between water, pine forests and plains, with a Mediterranean climate that attracts people who enjoy swimming and outdoor activities. The area suits travellers who want to explore nearby villages without giving up the amenities of a town.

Cabassons Beach is 1.7 km away and offers access to the shore of the étang. Parc de la Poudrerie, 1.9 km away, occupies the site of a former royal gunpowder works; its paths cross a natural area rich in heritage. Miramas-le-Vieux, 2.2 km away, is an old village whose narrow streets and viewpoints overlook Étang de Berre. Pont Flavien, 2.7 km away, is a Roman bridge in Saint-Chamas. Saint-Chamas railway station is accessible from the property, and Marseille Provence Airport is 18 km away.

For a relaxing day, you can combine a walk in the park with a visit to Saint-Chamas, then stop by the water. Summers are hot and sunny, making them suitable for swimming and water sports; however, the mistral can blow in this part of Provence. Spring and autumn are good for walks and visits to the villages, with generally milder temperatures. The routes around the étang also offer opportunities to discover the scenery and local heritage at a gentle pace.
