The town of Martigues

"Martigues est une ville bâtie non pas au bord de la mer, mais dans la mer ; irrégulière, blanche, riante, toute coupée de canaux et de ponts…Venise est la princesse qui se mire orgueilleusement dans l'Adriatique…Martigues est la Villageoise qui se sourit ingénument dans son miroir..."
ALEXANDRE DUMAS
