Two villages on a farming plain
Gignac-la-Nerthe is made up of two centres, Gignac in the east and Laure in the west. The whole commune lies north of the Nerthe range, on a plain that remains one of the last stretches of farmland on Marseille’s doorstep. It grew in waves: the digging of the Rove tunnel between 1911 and 1926 brought Italian and Spanish workers, families returning from Algeria arrived in the 1960s, and new housing spread through the 1980s.
Straight along the A55
The journey is 8 km and takes around 13 minutes. Gignac sits along the A55 motorway between Marseille and Martigues, so access is easy at any hour. Your driver follows your flight in real time and waits in the arrivals hall, with a full hour after landing to collect your bags. Fares are fixed per vehicle: €20 in Eco, €30 in a saloon and €50 in a van.
A quiet base for exploring
This is mainly a residential town, and most working residents commute elsewhere. That makes it a peaceful place to stay, 12 km from L’Estaque, 18 km from Martigues and 30 km from Aix-en-Provence. If you are visiting family in Gignac or Laure, add the district to your booking. The return to the airport costs the same, and you can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before.
