Dating to the 13C, this seaside town is known as the "Venice of Provence", for its beautiful canals, as well as fine local wine.

Martigues is a commune northwest of Marseille. It is part of the Bouches-du-Rhone department in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region on the eastern end of the Canal de Caronte. Nicknamed the "Provencale Venice", Martigues is a point of passage between the Mediterranean Sea and the Sea of Martigues (now Etang de Berre), close to the Cote d'Azur. The charm of its canals, its docks and bridges made it "The Venice of Provence". Martigues possesses also its cooperative winery "La Venise provencale": Coteaux d'Aix en Provence, rose, red and white wines, fruit juices and natural oils in the region.

We found your website very easy and intuitive. We were able to customize our trip and learn details about the various cities. We were a bit nervous about ordering our hotels on the spot. When we got to our first destination and handed the voucher to the receptionist and they confirm that everything was okay, then that's when we relaxed smiled and said this is really cool. We set up for different accommodations and everything was perfect. We will definitely consider using RoutePerfect again and we will definitely recommend RoutePerfect to other people.

My husband and I absolutely enjoyed our trip to Europe, our only complaint is that it wasn't long enough. I feel that we just scratched the surface and there is so much more we want to see and do. We definitely will be planning another trip in the near future. RoutePerfect is an amazing tool, it took a lot stress off of my shoulders. RoutePerfect staff was awesome, I had to make a couple of changes and it was done promptly. I stayed in some really descent hotels at a reasonable price. I love the fact that I didn't have to work too hard looking for good hotels RoutePerfect made it so easy to choose where I wanted to stay within my price range and interests. It was our first trip to Europe and we didn't know what to expect. I am so thankful i came across RoutePerfect. I tell my friends and family about it. I recommend it to everyone who asks me about my trip.
