Description
The port of Martigues, nicknamed the "Venice of Provence", is a true jewel of the Mediterranean coast, located between the Etang de Berre and the Mediterranean Sea. This picturesque port is made up of three main districts: l'Île, Ferrières, and Jonquières, each offering a unique atmosphere. The canals that cross the city are lined with houses with colorful facades, often decorated with pastel shutters, and small fishing boats moored along the quays. The Old Port, the historic heart of Martigues, is particularly charming with its stone bridges and café terraces where locals and visitors like to meet to admire the reflections of the houses in the water. The traditional boats, called "pointus", add an authentic touch to the landscape. The port of Martigues is also a dynamic place to live, with markets, local festivals, and festivals that liven up its banks throughout the year.
