With its seaside charm, local expertise, and unique experiences, Martigues is the perfect place to enjoy or share wonderful moments. Here’s a selection of activities that highlight the spirit of this colorful city, blending nature, creativity, and well-being.
The Carry-le-Rouet marine protected area has covered 85 hectares since December 1982. A Marine Park guide leads a surface tour of the rocky seabed and Posidonia seagrass beds, which extend to a depth of about 15 meters.
Equipped simply with your mask and snorkel, you’ll discover the flora and fauna of the shallow Mediterranean coastal waters. Rock slabs and boulders emerge from the seagrass beds, creating a rich habitat for numerous species of colorful fish. Free, but reservations are required through the Martigues Tourist Office.
A guided hike takes you through the sun-drenched vineyard landscapes of Saint-Julien-les-Martigues. Your guide will share the history of the grape varieties and their role in the production of Provence wines at the cooperative winery founded in 1957, where tradition and modernity coexist.
You’ll then explore the fermentation rooms to uncover the secrets of winemaking at each key stage. The tour concludes with a tasting of two white, rosé, and red wines, accompanied by carefully selected local products designed to enhance the subtle aromas of the local wines.
Meet under the iconic arch at La Couronne to go behind the scenes of the TV series. The reception area, mini-market, bar, and laundry room—all the campground’s iconic locations—are open to you outside of filming periods for an exclusive guided tour.
Your guide will share anecdotes, behind-the-scenes secrets, and stories from the “Camping Paradis” crew. Merchandise exclusive to Europe (mugs, magnets, T-shirts, polo shirts, and caps) is available during the tour or year-round at the Martigues Tourist Office. Registration required.
We continue this selection with a discovery of Martigues through its flavors! Amid colorful alleyways, passionate artisans, and gourmet stops along the canals, this food tour offers a sensory glimpse into Martigues.
Taste, observe, and chat: each stop reveals a local specialty and an anecdote about the city’s history. A three-hour stroll that blends gastronomy, heritage, and camaraderie—a simple, generous, and truly delicious experience to enjoy yourself or give as a gift.
Paddling through the heart of Martigues is a unique way to discover the city. The colorful facades, bridges, narrow streets, and peaceful atmosphere of the canals provide a unique backdrop for a guided tour that blends tranquility with a change of scenery. A true pleasure for exploring the “Venice of Provence.”
The guide shares anecdotes and highlights must-see stops while letting you sample a local specialty on the water. The tour takes you through three iconic neighborhoods, blending heritage, nature, and unexpected views.
Inspired by the craftsmanship of Jaipur, this introduction to block printing offers a creative experience by the sea. From choosing patterns and playing with colors to discovering an ancient technique, you’ll create a textile piece that blends tradition with personal expression.
The workshop invites you to take your time: prepare your fabric, test the stamps, and create your own decorative panel or placemats. Nancy guides you through each step with gentleness and precision.
For those who like to think outside the box, cryotherapy offers a short but intense experience. In just a few minutes, the dry cold stimulates the body, brings a feeling of lightness, and provides a real energy boost once you step out of the chamber.
Relaxed muscles, toned skin, deeper breathing, and a calm mind: the benefits are varied and surprising. This immersion at temperatures ranging from –90 °C to –140 °C feels like a true reset for the body. An unusual gift idea, perfect for the curious and the athletic.
This experience combines two pleasures: cooking vegetarian recipes inspired by travel, then creating your own placemats using the traditional block-printing technique. A creative, warm, and gourmet interlude by the sea.
Between preparing dishes, exploring Indian patterns, and hand-printing, everyone creates a souvenir that’s as beautiful as it is delicious. And in the summer, the workshop even ends with a picnic on the beach. A sensory and convivial activity to share.
