Sentier entre mer et étangs

The Entre mer et Étang trail, open to the Mediterranean Sea, bordered by the hills and the banks of the Étang de Berre, at the gateway to the Camargue, is 38 km long. Eight walking and hiking loops within the path "between sea and pond" which alone constitutes a large local loop. In all, it's 90 kilometers that cross Martigues, Port-de-Bouc and Saint-Mitre-les-Remparts. Municipal or inter-municipal, these loops allow you to discover a contrasting and sometimes wild landscape, between nature and industries, between sea and ponds. This is an exceptional territory, that of the largest salt pond in Europe, the Etang de Berre, a UNESCO World Heritage candidate, but also that of the Etangs du Pourra, Citis, Engrenier, Lavalduc and of the Mediterranean Sea. It offers a unique biodiversity to discover and preserve. On the land side, we walk between the forest of Castillon, its Aleppo pines, its magnificent reed bed, where a beautiful diversity of flora and fauna develops, the large park of Figuerolles and its houses of rural life or the classified site of Saint-Blaise and its Gallic vestiges that take us back to the heart of our roots. Within this territory, industry is strongly represented. Petrochemicals, steel industry, port activities... you will discover a landscape of rare strength. When you cross the three municipalities, you can only be seized by this nature and these industries which rub shoulders, which collide. These routes are designed for family outings. They are also aimed at experienced hikers and walkers, not forgetting the paths accessible to people with reduced mobility. A larger loop offers a complete discovery in three stages crossing the three municipalities with a passage through the station of Port-de-Bouc for access by train. Appointment Between sea and ponds for the starting signal. All you have to do is bring a hat, a water bottle, a good pair of closed shoes and the territory is yours!

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.

L'Estaque and its painters
14 km

L'Estaque and its painters

In the extreme north of Marseille, nestled at the foot of the Nerthe mountain range which protects it from the mistral wind, the small port of Estaque (attache, in Provencal), remains one of the most picturesque districts of the city. In the northernmost part of Marseille, nestling at the foot of the Nerthe massif, the little port of Estaque (meaning attachment in Provençal) is still one of the most picturesque districts of the city. Its development over the centuries has been closely associated with the traditional tile-making industry. At the beginning of the 20th century, people would come to L'Estaque to try sea urchins, bouillabaisse, panisses and sardines in hotels and restaurants built on the water's edge. Bastides, seaside villas (Château Fallet, Villa la Palestine, etc.) veritable architectural follies, etc. started to spring up next to the traditional small houses belonging to the workers from the nearby tile factories and cement works. For art enthusiasts, Estaque is above all one of the key locations in the birth of modern painting. From Collioure to Menton, just to consider the Mediterranean coast, there are plenty of places that have attracted great painters. However are there many places that can boast to have been frequented over a period of sixty years (1860-1920) by ten or so renowned artists? The name of L'Estaque is associated with impressionism, fauvism, cubism: these three periods that to a great extent determined the nature of painting in our time. Although Cézanne and Braque are the two major figures, we should not forget painters such as Derain, Dufy, Marquet, Friesz, Macke, Renoir, Guigou and Monticelli. Most of them painted dozens of canvasses at Estaque. An unusual destiny indeed for this village, which can firstly be explained by its situation: it offers an exceptional view point, where the panorama of the bay of Marseille is often very striking. The explanation for the painters' inspiration can also be found in the large number of different subjects, and in the variety of shapes and colours, all concentrated in a relatively small space: the horizontal sea, the vertical factory chimneys, the curves of the hills and the arches of the viaducts, the play of ochres and reds responding to the intensity of the myriad of greens and blues. A walking tour presents the history of this colourful working-class district with a strong character, little different nowadays from the village the painters knew and loved. Many of the themes are still here. To see them you just need to know how to look. Starting from the harbour jetty, take the painters' path, and after this walk lasting roughly two hours you will understand why these artists were so attracted to these sites. Eight enamelled lava information panels are positioned at various points of the walk.

The Tétrodon, mobile and modular habitat

The Tétrodon, mobile and modular habitat

The adventure of the 30-foot Tetrodon begins with Except ... (territories) the association's project through this passage, infranch. An exploration of the territories from the Étang de Berre to the Golfe de Fos, between habitats, industries and nature. The association agreed to receive for one symbolic euro in December 2011 this mobile and modular habitat, identified as a Tetrodon by the historian architect Thierry Duroussea, the last in the region. Inhabitable space, the Tétrodon will offer residences to artists, from the Etang de Berre to the Golfe de Fos. These residences can be extended to experts, researchers, architects, designers, participating in the creation of a laboratory / observatory of the territories. The modular spaces of the Tétrodon are adaptable: assembly of panels closing the hulls to create an indoor exhibition space, exterior extension by light structures such as canvas ... The Tétrodon can also be used to accommodate groups for the start of walks, the organization of artistic workshops not requiring significant equipment. A little history. This Tétrodon came from an order from Sonacotra in 1972 for 32 6-meter models to house the workers building the SOLMER (Arcelor Mittal) steel plant in Fos-sur-Mer. This 10 meter model is the only result of this order. In return, the association decides to renovate it in order to make it its flagship project, a perennial place intended to welcome visitors, walkers, and artists like a peri-urban refuge. The idea of ​​locating it along the GR2013 then emerges when the association participates in 2013 in Marseille European Capital of Culture and contributes to the realization of this first peri-urban GR. It was labeled 'Patrimoine XXème' by the DRAC in 2012, and became the property of the City of Martigues in 2019 after its restoration.
