View of the Étang de Berre

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of the most beautiful views of the Etang de Berre! A 180° view between Miramas le Vieux and Istres via St-Chamas.
Very relaxing with the boats criss-crossing the pond!

View of Étang de Berre from Vigie de Saint-Étienne

Highlight • Viewpoint

A DFCI lookout on the heights of Istres (beautiful Gravel climb to get there) with a 13th century chapel renovated in the middle of the 90's.

The climb (short but sturdy) and the panorama on the pond of Berre, Sulauze and Istres are worth the detour.
