Discover Entressen

Entressen appeals to travelers with a range of interests: Étang d’Entressen, with its reed beds and views of the Alpilles in clear weather, is complemented by the historic Tour de la Reine Jeanne d’Entressen. Cultural events, exhibitions and sailing activities add to the mix. When planning your trip, it is important to note the timing: monthly events, individual events with specific dates and a seasonal market all follow different calendars.

Étang, Alpilles and Tour de la Reine Jeanne

Étang d’Entressen is surrounded by reed beds and lies away from built-up areas. In clear weather, you can see the Alpilles from there. The Tour de la Reine Jeanne d’Entressen stands on the shore of the Étang of the same name, on the edge of the Crau. The tower was built as a military outpost in the 14th century. Here, a body of water, a distant view that depends on the weather and a structure with a clearly defined historical function come together. If you are interested in nature and history, these different aspects offer a specific focus for planning your trip: the view depends on clear visibility, while the tower’s military function helps date its construction.

Cultural venues and event dates

La Grange, a municipal cultural venue at the entrance to the hamlet of Entressen, hosts cultural and festive events every month. Check the current calendar if you would like to plan your travel dates around an event. The Chapelle Immaculée Conception d’Entressen also serves as an exhibition venue; check the current exhibition program before visiting. Specific events with dates and times are documented for 2025: on Saturday, May 31, 2025, a Course de ligue PACA in Camargue bull racing took place at 4 p.m. in the arenas of Entressen. It was organized by the Club Taurin d’Entressen with the Manades Agu, Chapelle and Tiberio. Another event was the Abrivado organized by the Club Taurin d’Entressen on Saturday, July 5, 2025, at 11 a.m. on Avenue de la Crau, as part of the club’s 45th anniversary. If a particular event is important to your trip, check its current dates.

Sailing and a discovery tour

The Base nautique municipale d’Entressen offers sailing. Its other activities include courses and marine classes without accommodation; confirm the current participation requirements before your trip. The phrase “without accommodation” is important for planning your hotel stay: the courses and marine classes do not include overnight stays, so you will need to find accommodation separately. Another activity is a fun discovery tour of Entressen. It starts at the Centre Social et d’Animation Pierre Miallet; check its current availability in advance. The two activities have different focuses: sailing and courses on the one hand, and a fun exploration of the town on the other.

Market and planning your stay

During the 2026 market season, the Marché des Producteurs d’Entressen will also offer handmade bread and local beer. The market adds a seasonal culinary attraction to the cultural and sporting activities. If it is important to your trip, check the market season dates before deciding when to stay.
