Description

As every year, enjoy the European Heritage Days in Martigues. What is the theme of the 2026 edition? Photographic heritage and heritage at risk: reviving, resisting, and reimagining.
You are invited to explore, discover, or rediscover Martigues through tours, workshops, and activities. Full program coming soon. The Tourist Office program. Register at the office or online at martigues-tourisme.com. - September 7–21: Heritage Photo Rally: "Target: The Island!" Armed with your smartphone, become a true "time detective." The goal? Find three iconic historical spots scattered throughout the "Venice of Provence." From the picturesque charm of the *Miroir aux Oiseaux* (Mirror of the Birds) to the colorful facades along the Saint-Sébastien Canal, see the city with fresh eyes. The shot that most closely matches the framing of the original photo wins a piece of decor from Martigues worth €35. - September 19 at 9:30 AM: Capture the Soul of the Island: a unique photography walk. Let yourself be guided through the secret alleyways of the "Ile" (Island) district, camera in hand and eyes wide open. Alongside a passionate photographer from the Martigues Photo Club, you will learn to see what usually goes unnoticed: a facade weathered by salt and time, a blue shutter cracked by the summer heat, the reflection of a canal shimmering in the golden light... Also, check out our self-guided scavenger hunts: "Discover Martigues via a Treasure Hunt" (ages 6+), fun walks in the Grand Parc de Figuerolles or along the Côte Bleue coastline (ages 4+), and a "Provence Odyssey" by My Explore Bag (ages 6+). General program. - Friday, September 18 at 4:00 PM: Guided tour of Fort de Bouc. - Saturday, September 19, 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM: Body painting, digital creation workshops, and screen-printing demonstrations themed around the exhibition.
