Lagoons, helicopters and an old town
Marignane lies on the south-eastern edge of the Étang de Berre, cut off from open water by a smaller lagoon, the Étang de Bolmon. Many visitors come on business: Airbus Helicopters has its head office here, along with a design and assembly plant, and industry provides half of the town’s salaried jobs. The historic centre still has houses dating from the 15th to the 20th century, and the Maison des Rocailleurs shows off cement façades shaped to look like stone and timber.
A seven-minute hop from arrivals
Almost all of the airport lies within Marignane, yet the access roads run through Saint-Victoret and Vitrolles, so your driver makes a short loop of 5 km, roughly 7 minutes. Fares are indicative and confirmed when you book: from €30 in Eco, €40 in a Sedan and €50 in an 8-seater van for families or bulky luggage. Tolls and bags are included, and there is no night or weekend surcharge, so an early meeting or a late landing costs the same.
Notre-Dame-de-Pitié hill and the Jaï spit
With an hour to spare, head up Notre-Dame-de-Pitié, a low plateau east of town. It carries a hillfort listed as a historic monument in 2004 and inhabited from the 4th century BC; some of the finds are on show in the Marignane museum. To the north, the narrow Jaï strip runs between the two lagoons. When it is time to fly home, the return ride to departures is booked at the same indicative fare; the simulator gives the exact price.
Good to know about Marignane
The two Boussiron aircraft hangars inside the airport grounds were a feat of 1950s engineering: their 4,000-tonne vaults were cast on the ground and then jacked into place. The Marseille–Rhône canal also crosses the town, though it has carried no traffic since the Rove tunnel was closed.
