Martigues

Martigues occupies the shores and channels between the Étang de Berre lagoon and the Mediterranean coast in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur. The Canal de Caronte crosses the town, linking the lagoon to the sea and separating the historic quarters of Ferrières, l’Île and Jonquières. Often called the “Venice of Provence”, Martigues has long been shaped by fishing, boating and the working waters of the lagoon. Near the canal’s seaward entrance, Fort de Bouc stands on an islet by the Golfe de Fos, recalling the strategic importance of this waterway.
