Nicknamed the "Provençale Venice", is a point of passage between the Mediterranean Sea and the Sea of Martigues

(now Etang de Berre), close to the Côte d'Azur. The charm of its canals, its docks and bridges made it "The Venice of

Provence". Martigues possesses also its cooperative winery "La Venise provençale": Coteaux d'Aix en Provence, rosé,

red and white wines, fruit juices and natural oils in the region.
