Istres

Situated in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region of France, Istres has seen a large population growth spurt over the past century. Maturing from a small farming village with just over 5,500 residents in 1930 to its current population of over 42,000 people, this town has consistently been celebrated for its fantastically diverse surroundings.

Strongly rooted in tradition, Istres serves as a lovely introduction to the lifestyle of the Provence region. The town has managed to expand gracefully, without harming its beautiful environment. You can appreciate the nearby rivers of l’Étang de Berre and the Plaine de la Crau by taking a drive in your car hire.

Istres is also home to the FC Istres football team, member of France’s second-highest league, the Ligue 2. The town is also the site of an air base, adding to its wide range of facets.

Travellers would do well to rent a car, as the entire Provence region is widely renowned for its beautiful coastlines, quaint towns and Mediterranean lifestyle. Car hire is the most convenient way to travel the area and discover its hidden delights.

The villages of Provence are typically distinguished by their red-tiled roofs, olive trees and laid-back lifestyle. A stroll through town will likely reveal locals playing pétanque (the French version of bowls) and people relaxing at outdoor cafés.
