The Canal de Marseille au Rhône connects the Mediterranean Sea at Marseille to the Rhône at Arles. The section between Marignane and Marseille has been closed since the collapse of the Rove Tunnel in 1963.
The canal has a total length of 81 kilometres from Marseille to Arles.
The canal consists of the Rove Tunnel from the harbor on the Mediterranean, the section leading to the Étang de Berre, the Bouc à Martigues canal , the Rhône à Fos canal and the Saint-Louis canal.
There are two channels at Martigues, the Gallifet canal and the Baussengue canal, used only for recreational boats.
Martigues island, between the two canals, is divided by the small canal of Saint-Sébastien, which runs along its length.
The complex of waterways at Martigues has led to its being called the "Venice of Provence".
