Martigues stretches across several neighbourhoods connected by canals and the shores of the Étang de Berre. The Île district, with its colourful façades and quays, gives the town its nickname, “Venice of Provence”; Ferrières and Jonquières complete this urban landscape shaped by the water. The town suits travellers who enjoy strolling through a lively centre, watching the boats and discovering a maritime side of Provence that differs from the hilltop villages inland.

The Musée d'histoire de Martigues, 930 m away, explores the links between the town, its inhabitants and the surrounding area. The Musée Ziem, 1.5 km away, houses local art and history collections. Jardin Ziem offers a break in the urban setting, while the water shuttle connects different stops in the centre. Ferrières Beach, 1.6 km away, provides access to the shore of the Étang. Martigues railway station is 1.4 km away; Marseille Provence Airport is 13 km away. A car is useful for exploring more of the Côte Bleue and its coves.

You can alternate walks along the quays with museum visits and swimming when the season allows. In summer, the Provençal sunshine accompanies outings by the sea, but the beaches and coastal roads are busier. Spring and early autumn often bring pleasant temperatures for walking and visiting the town without planning every outing around swimming. From Martigues, set aside a day to follow the coast, then leave time to return to the centre and see the canals in the late afternoon.
