Between the sea and the ponds, Martigues offers a poetic and surprising setting to discover from the water. Aboard an electric boat without a license, you can cruise at your own pace, admiring the colorful facades that line the canals, gliding under the charming bridges and experiencing another facet of this "Venice of Provence". The gentle tranquility of the area lends itself perfectly to river cruising, whether you're with the family, as a couple or with friends. There's no need for nautical experience here: it's easy to get to grips with the boat, and navigation is a breeze. All you need is the desire to let yourself be carried along.

Downtown Martigues, crossed by the Canal de Caronte, abounds in picture-postcard views. Electric boats take you along the narrow streets and old houses of the Île district, offering a unique perspective of the quays, terraces and traditional boats. Further along, the canals offer access to quieter areas, ideal for enjoying a floating picnic, accompanied by the lapping of the water and the cries of seagulls.
