Provence, the place to be!

Do you work in any of the industrial parks around Marseille Provence Airport?

An area full of contrast, where urban expanses exist alongside the scenery of a Mediterranean lagoon, the eastern side of the Etang de Berre encompasses several industrial parks located around Aéroport Marseille Provence.

The Technoparc des Florides (in Marignane), the Parc d’Empallières (in Saint-Victoret) and the parks of Couperigne-Estroublans and l’Anjoly (in Vitrolles) are at the heart of a new forward-looking model: ”building the extended enterprise of the future in Provence.”
