 Martigues, France
The character of the surroundings of Martigues has been strongly influenced by the construction of the expressway and industrial plants; nevertheless the town, which because of its situation on the Canal de Caronte is also called the "Venice of Provence", has still retained to a considerable extent its atmosphere of bygone days.
The Canal St Sébastien and the picturesque corner - Miroir aux Oiseaux (Mirror of the Birds) - of the Ile, the central part of the town, are given a particularly attractive appearance by fishing boats with their nets hanging up to dry.
In Jonquières, in the southern part of the town, near the Church of St Genest (17th C.), is the Chapelle de l'Annonciade with 17th C. sculpture and paintings.
