Experience Martigues on foot: our ready-made day trips
Looking to go hiking in Martigues? The Tourist Office has designed six tailor-made hiking days to help you discover the city and the Côte Bleue on foot, whatever your fitness level. For an accessible introduction, choose "First Steps Between Sea and Canals," a 6 km walk blending urban heritage with the coastline.
Keen hikers might opt for the "Must-Do Panoramic Hike" (19 km, +270 m elevation gain) or "Hiking and the Sea: The Perfect Combo"—two challenging routes offering spectacular views of the Mediterranean. For an experience that blends nature and history, "Hiking with a Twist: Nature and Heritage" combines quarry trails with local stories, while "Slow Hiking and Unplugging" invites you to slow the pace along the shores of the Étang de Berre.
Finally, "Above Martigues" offers the finest sunrise over the city—a beautiful way to wrap up your stay. Each route is particularly enjoyable in the off-season, when the Côte Bleue trails regain their peaceful atmosphere. It’s up to you to choose your perfect route!
