La madrague de Gignac

The blue coast is located to the west of Marseille, on the other side of the “parc des calanques” that have made the reputation of this coastline.

Easily accessible by train or by road, you will find in this vacation place the starting point of beautiful Provencal discoveries.

(Marseille, Cassis, Aix en Provence, Camargue, Arles, Martigues, etc.)

Accessible by foot, 5 small creeks punctuate the town of Ensues-la-Redonne and are connected by the coastal trail.
