Martigues stretches between the Étang de Berre and the Mediterranean, in Bouches-du-Rhône. The town is known for its canals, bridges and quays, which have earned it the nickname “Venice of Provence”. The Croix-Sainte area, where the hotel is located, has a different feel from the old town: it suits travellers who prefer to get around by car and want to reach the town or the coast. In the centre, the narrow streets and waterfront give a Mediterranean character to a walk.

The Martigues History Museum and Musée Ziem offer a chance to discover the local heritage and collections connected with the town. Jardin Ziem provides a place to stroll, while Grand Parc de Figuerolles has green spaces and outdoor activities. Ferrières Beach and Plage de l’Ours offer access to the water. Croix-Sainte railway station is 750 m away; Marseille Provence Airport is 14 km away. The A55 motorway, a few minutes away by car, connects Martigues with other towns in the region.

Spring and the shoulder season are good times for walks along the quays and visits to the museums, with temperatures often milder than in the height of summer. In fine weather, you can spend a day at the beaches of the Côte Bleue or explore the trails around Figuerolles. A visit to the old town, with a stroll along the canals and a stop at Musée Ziem, offers a better sense of the connection between Martigues and its waterside landscapes. A car is useful for exploring the coast and nearby towns.
