Martigues from Saint-Charles: faster than the coach

Martigues station is far from the centre, and the coach from Marseille depends on A55 traffic. A private driver takes you straight to L’Île, Ferrières or La Couronne beaches.

The driver follows the A55 through the L’Estaque tunnel and over the Caronte viaduct, with no tolls. For the Lavéra industrial sites, give the company name.

Do you serve Port-de-Bouc?

Yes, at the per-kilometre rate; it is just past Martigues on the road to Fos.

Martigues by train

Martigues station, on the Côte Bleue line, is at Croix-Sainte, north of town and quite far from the centre and canals. With luggage, a private driver from Saint-Charles is simpler: he follows the A55 and the Caronte viaduct and drops you in L’Île, Ferrières or Jonquières, in about 35 minutes outside rush hour.

For technicians and engineers working at Lavéra or on the petrochemical sites, we also run the daily trips between a hotel in the centre and the site, with an invoice for the company.

La Couronne, Carro, Sainte-Croix and Le Verdon: Martigues has several beaches on the Côte Bleue, busy with families in summer. Carro is also a well-known windsurfing and kitesurfing spot, and the morning fish market on Carro harbour is a local institution.
