$stmt = $this->db->prepare('SELECT * FROM etablissements where type IN $liste_des_themes');//i tried this but seems not working
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->bind_result($id, $libelle);
while ($stmt->fetch()) {
    echo "$id $libelle<br/>";
}
$stmt->close();

You need to create an IN list in the correct format:

$liste_des_themes=array("Préfectures et sous-préfectures","Mairie","Banque");
$in_list = "'".implode("','", $liste_des_themes)."'";
$stmt = 
 $this->db->prepare('SELECT * FROM etablissements where type IN ('.$in_list.')');
