With one side of the town facing the Mediterranean and the other overlooking
the Etang de Berre, the “Venice of Provence” praised in song by Vincent Scotto
is suffused in the marine light that has attracted the greatest painters and so
many filmmakers. The house fronts in the town center are brightly colored
and the town is crossed by a succession of bridges that span the canals linking
lake and sea. A few miles away along the smugglers’ path, the Mediterranean
forms the “Blue Coast”, a string of creeks, beaches and small fishing harbours.
This is an unspoilt environment where fishing boats and windsurfing boards
live side by side in total harmony.

GREaTEST SITES OF maRTIGUES
History in brief…
Martigues was initially the site of several
Gallic hill forts and numerous traces of
them have survived (Saint-Pierre, L’Île and,
furthernorth, Saint-Blaise) but it was
during the Roman occupation of Gaul that
the town was referred to as Maritima
Avaticorum.
“
Martigues est une ville
bâtie non pas au bord de
la mer, mais dans la mer.
Alexandre Dumas
”
4 I MAR T IGUE S TOURISTIC GUID E
In 1581, the town took the name it has
today, after the Act of Union put an end to
rivalry between Jonquières, L’Île and
Ferrières. Union was also necessary in a
period marked by the Black Death and
Religious Wars. Martigues expanded in the
17th century thanks to the increase in
maritime business (fishing, trade and
shipbuilding). In fact, the harbour in
Martigues rivalled Marseille in terms of
tonnage. During this economic boom, the
town under-went numerous embellishments and many religious buildings were
either extended or rebuilt. The days of
luxury, however, came to an end and the
town went into a slump, unable to with
stand competition from Marseille. Moreover, the Black Death decimated the
population in 1720, bringing it down to its
lowest level for many years.
Despite the opening of several soda ash
production plants that used the salt from
the marshes at Bouc and Ferrières, it was
not until the building of the ArlesMarseille Canal via the Etang de Berre
(1919-1930) that the long-awaited economic development began. At the same
time, the population increased and the
town was given numerous public buildings such as the Felix Ziem museum,
the Louis Aragon library,”the Salins”
theatre, La Halle entertainment and
conference center, etc. Careful town
planning created a lifestyle that won the
support of the locals in the fourth largest
town in Bouches-du-Rhône region.

number of other buildings and constructions dating
from the 15th to 20th centuries.
Archaeological site in Saint-Blaise
Saint-Mitre-les-Remparts, 11 km from Martigues.
The steep-sided plateau accessible only from the south
and, therefore, easy to defend, was inhabited from the
stone age to the end of the 14th century, with the exception of many years during the early days of the
Roman Empire. The digs undertaken in 1935 uncovered eight archaeological layers. Don’t miss: the superb
Greek town walls, a Romanesque chapel and the ruins
of Ugium over earlier traces of the ancient settlement.

La Couronne in the 1st century A.D. It has a
low relief depicting eight figures, paying homage to the founders and owners of a vast
farm until the 6th century.
The “Blue Coast”still bears spectacular traces
of the many shell bearing limestone quarries
which, from the days of the Ancient Greeks
to the 19th century, were worked mainly to
provide stone for monuments in Marseille.

Sainte-Croix’ Chapel (17th century)
High above the beaches at Sainte-Croix and La

Duchess du Berry in 1832.
Tamaris harbour
Popular for diving and water sports. A
coastal footpath on the left crosses the archaeological site dating from the 6th century
B.C.
EXCURSIOnS BY CaR OR TRaIn
By car (four hours)
From Martigues, follow the D5 to the Blue
Coast. Stop in the village of Saint-Julien-lesMartigues to visit the “Venise provencale” wine
cellar and the chapel. There is a Gallo-Roman
low relief on the south wall. Take the D49 road
to the typical little fishing harbour of Carro:
there is a fish market every morning. Visit the
Baou Taïlla quarries then continue on to the
Anse du Verdon, a long sandy beach with visitor
amenities. Drive up to the village of La
Couronne, close to the location chosen for the
shooting of a TV series entitled Camping Paradis. Visit the church where the quarriers signed all the stones used to build the bell tower.
Then pass the beaches at La Saulce and
Sainte-Croix and note the beautiful Romanesque chapel overlooking the sea. Head for
Sausset-les-Pins and Carry-le-Rouet, a place
made famous by the actor, Fernandel.
By train
From the beach at Le Rouet, a footpath leads to
the chapel. Drive on to the village of Ensuès-laRedonne and see the creeks, inlets and coves at
La Redonne, La Madrague de Gignac, Les
Figuières and Méjean. Huddling between sheercliffs cutting into the limestone coast, they
are noticeable for the presence of one of the
eighteen viaducts on the Miramas-Marseille railway line. They contain tiny harbours and shelters
lined by small houses. Return to the D48 road:
Niolon and La Vesse were used in the series, La
Calanque. Continue to Le Rove where the
goats’cheese, “brousse de chèvre du Rove”, is
still made using traditional methods. The next
stop is L’Estaque, the setting for the film Marius
et Jeannette, famous for its marina and its water
jousts.Take the dual carriage way or the A55
motorway back to Martigues.
Whether you’re seeing the “Blue Coast” for the
first time or have come here before, there is
nothing more attractive than the pictures railway line leaving from Martigues, La Couronne
or Marseille and running along the coast, stopping at all the small harbors on the way (La
Couronne, Sausset-les-Pins, Carry-le-Rouet,
etc.). This is a more entertaining way of visiting
the“Blue Coast”.
