If you fancy a trip in the fresh air, the Martigues tourist office have organised a programme of three different boat trips exploring the canals, or the Cote Bleue or the Etang de Berre. Perfect if you live nearby, but they are booking until 15th May when travel restrictions may be relaxed.
The area is a favourite for TV and film companies: Provence Studios is currently producing several TV shows and 3 new episodes of Camping Paradis are being filmed on a nearby beach.
The South of France. Enchanted by the deep blue of the Mediterranean, the olive trees, poppies, irises and that dazzling light, artists found their creativity flourished under the hot sun. My new book takes you on a journey visiting museums and galleries as well as artists’ studios and their favourite painting spots. From Van Gogh in Arles, to Signac in Saint-Tropez; from Cézanne in Aix, over to Nice for Renoir and Matisse, the story unfolds of artists who knew each other and painted together in the warm south. Prepare too to meet colourful local artists who captured their beloved Provence for us to enjoy.
