Presentation
Kayaking in Martigues: An Unforgettable Canal Trip
With friends or family, embark on a unique adventure in the heart of Martigues, the "Venice of Provence." Paddle in hand, glide along the calm waters of the canals and discover the city from a perspective few visitors experience. Guided by a passionate instructor, you'll navigate through the historic districts, uncovering anecdotes and secrets of this exceptional city. No prior experience is necessary: simply follow the guide and let yourself be carried away.
The highlight? Entering the famous Miroir aux Oiseaux (Mirror of Birds), this picturesque and colorful site that has inspired generations of painters. From your kayak, you'll enjoy a privileged view of this living tableau: fishing boats, houses with pastel shutters, and shimmering reflections on the water. Then, paddling along, you'll leave the canals to reach the western shore of the Étang de Berre (Berre Lagoon) and its wild, unspoiled landscapes. Two experiences in one, combining urban heritage and authentic nature.
This guided tour is accessible to everyone, from age 8 and up, even without kayaking experience—equipment is provided, safety is ensured, and good times are guaranteed. Spots fill up quickly, especially during peak season: don't miss this opportunity to see Martigues like you've never imagined. Ready to set sail? Book online in just a few clicks.
