Port de plaisance
Drop anchor here in the heart of Martigues, a town often called the 'Venice of Provence' for its colourful canal-side houses and bridges. You're right in the thick of it — the Ferrières quarter is steps away, with restaurants, markets, and the iconic waterfront that has drawn painters since Ziem in the 19th century. The setting is genuinely striking, with the Canal de Caronte connecting the étang de Berre to the sea and constant activity on the water around you.
