#Istres
Located only 30 km from Marseille, the Residence will take your breath away! Your new home is only 350 m from a busy harbour and 3 km from the dreamy beach of Rouet. In brief, it is a more-than-privileged location where you can relax and have fun!
Carry-le-Rouet is a charming little village in the Bouches-du-Rhone area which is bordered by coves and hills, where life is good and lounging. Relax and let yourself be intoxicated by the scents of the pine trees transported by the southern winds: Mistral and Tramontane! But don’t worry: there will be no clouds on the horizon to ruin your holiday!
And as you are very lucky (or maybe you just have good taste), you will be able to relax on fine sandy beaches, or on pebbles or gravel, the likes of which are considered the most beautiful in the region. The Cap Rousset beach, located in the heart of the Blue Coast marine reserve, is particularly popular among families and children. Nestled in a natural cove, its port offers you a spectacular view, which is bordered by two limestone cliffs. During the day or in the evening, its restaurants, which serve seafood, fish and shellfish, will surely delight you!
If you are not yet convinced, here’s some figures for the Carry-le-Rouet seaside resort:
Crystal clear water at 20-25 degrees where you can observe a warm seabed with no need for a diving mask;
A temperature between 30 and 35 degrees in summer - you can be sure of returning home tanned;
A ranking in the top 15 sunniest cities in France, with 127 days of sun per year (you can see that we are not lying; no clouds on the horizon!);
A city classified as a Tourist Resort since 2019 - guarantee of quality for a top stay;
580 rings and twenty boats.
In Carry-le-Rouet, it’s impossible to be bored!
There’s plenty on offer for sea lovers: sea trips, diving, sea kayaking, towed buoy... whether it’s between friends, with the family or alone, you will feel like a fish in the water!
Those without sea legs can have fun with other activities, including hiking and all-terrain bike runs... or your family can just relax peacefully along the Blue Coast on the Lizard Trail, or you can visit the Rouet Chapel and observe the superb Calanque des Eaux-Salees at its summit... It’s quite a programme!
You like a dynamic surrounding? You’re in for a treat! Throughout the year, the old fishing village displays its share of cultural, gastronomical and sporting events:
Les Oursinades, a big traditional festival;
The Boogie Woogie festival, where people wiggle on the port in July;
The Carro-Carry race, a 14.27 km walking test which meanders along the coves;
Or even the sea swimming race (3 km) which gathers nearly 500 swimmers...
Carry-le-Rouet is as lively throughout the day as it is in the evening: so if you want to go out to win the jackpot, go and try your luck at the Casino!
