History of La Couronne<\/h2>

This small commune, part of the Martigues conurbation <\/strong>, has a long tradition of stonemasons, also known as “queyrouns”. It’s only logical, therefore, to find two major quarries where these workers once worked. The first, in the Couronne-Vieille cove, shaped the rock of the surrounding seaside, and the second, in the Verdon cove, is still active on certain occasions. <\/p>

Several buildings were founded in this way. The church tower, in particular, bears the marks of the various stonemasons who contributed to its construction. <\/p>

The village of La Couronne<\/strong> was also a major asset during the First and Second World Wars, as evidenced by the many blockhouses along the seafront.<\/p><\/div><\/div>
