Rand'eau douce in Martigues

Rand'eau douce in Martigues

Discover Martigues, nicknamed "the Venice of Provence", on an 6 km hike on the fascinating theme of fresh water. Far from the salt waters that surround the city, this walk immerses you in its hydraulic past. Accompanied by a passionate guide, you will explore the picturesque alleys and hidden treasures of the city. Each stage of this guided hike will allow you to understand the importance of fresh water in the daily life of the Martigues people, a precious resource that has shaped the identity of this Mediterranean city. You will learn that the inhabitants of each district had their own source of drinking water supplied by the Martigues Canal, which has now disappeared. Did you know that the fountain located on Place Mirabeau was moved from Cours du 4 Septembre in Jonquières by the Jourdan family following the extension of their hotel "La Goutte d'Or"? That the entrance to Martigues began at the intersection of Avenue Frédérique Mistral and that part of the Jonquières district was nothing but marshland? That buildings that are still in use were once used as cisterns, that when you look up you will see now-forgotten ramparts and that old wells can be found in the heart of the gardens of recent buildings? Under the commentary of Bernard, president of the Randonnée Ski Découverte (RSD) association, you will take a new look at the architectural heritage of Martigues. The past has left traces that we do not notice on a daily basis. Take advantage of this unusual stroll in the city center to combine business with pleasure.

Discover the Villages of Luberon and the Lavender Fields

Discover the Provencal backcountry by minibus. Spend the afternoon strolling through the beautiful villages of Lubéron and admiring the lavender fields. DISCOVER THE PROVENCAL BACKCOUNTRY BY MINIBUS. SPEND THE AFTERNOON STROLLING THROUGH THE BEAUTIFUL VILLAGES OF LUBÉRON, SOAKING UP THE COLORS AND SCENTS OF SOUTHERN FRANCE! Your minibus will set off from Aix en Provence for the village of Bonnieux. On the way, you’ll pass through the Combe de Lourmarin, a natural valley carved by a river flowing from the Luberon mountain range. When you stop in Bonnieux, you’ll get a splendid view of Cavalon valley, the Ventoux and Vaucluse mountains, as well as the small hilltop villages scattered throughout Luberon. The excursion then carries on towards Rousillon, crossing the Pont Julien on the way, a bridge built by the request of Julius Cesar. The minibus will make a stop-off here, giving you time to take photos of the impressive 2,000-year-old edifice. You’ll then visit the region’s vast fields of lavender. Known locally as 'blue gold', its flowers possess a delicate scent that is eternally associated with the landscapes of Provence. After the lavender fields, you’ll move on to explore Rousillon village Located on the site one of the world’s largest ocher deposits, Rousillon has a distinct charm. Its buildings are built from different shades of the rock; the yellow, orange and red tones of the façades striking a stark contrast to the deep blue sky. The resulting effect is reminiscent of a painter’s palette, and it’s hardly surprising that Rousillon is considered one of the most beautiful villages in France! At the end of your day, your driver will bring you back to Aix en Provence.
