Around the holiday village La Bastide des Joncas – 1 km on foot

The Martigues Tourist Office recommends La Bastide des Joncas as the ideal starting point for a stay combining nature, sea, and relaxation, right in the heart of La Couronne. Nestled in a peaceful 1.5-hectare pine forest, the property is only a 5-minute walk from the beaches and coves of the Côte Bleue — an immediate invitation to unpack and breathe in the sea air.

Walking from La Bastide, you can easily reach the coastline, perfect for swimming, coastal hikes, or watching the Mediterranean sunset. For moments of relaxation, the green and outdoor spaces of La Bastide offer a calm and rejuvenating setting, surrounded by pines, nature, and eco-renovated comfort. If you prefer to alternate between sea and culture, a few minutes are enough to reach small shops or local services in the village.

La Bastide des Joncas also offers on-site dining, simple and friendly — perfect after a day at the beach or exploring. By prioritizing walking or cycling for your movements, you adopt a gentle and sustainable approach to tourism, in line with the ecological spirit of the site (low-energy renovated building, solar hot water…). This serene, walkable setting makes La Bastide des Joncas an excellent base for discovering the Côte Bleue and Martigues without a car, while enjoying a preserved and welcoming natural environment.
