Étang de Berre shore
The lagoon fills one side of the frame as open space. Its gently curved shoreline sets the town's western edge and balances the dense street pattern inland.

The map
Vitrolles sits on the eastern side of the Étang de Berre, the large saltwater lagoon north-west of Marseille. From above, the shoreline gives the map a long, soft edge. Behind it, the ground rises toward limestone ridges and the open scrub of the Arbois plateau, and the built-up area climbs up from the water with it.
The old village sits beneath a steep rock outcrop crowned by a watchtower, a small, dense cluster of lanes. Most of the town is much newer. It grew quickly from the late twentieth century onward, and that growth shows in curving residential loops, commercial zones and wide roads rather than an old grid. Motorways and the airport nearby add long, straight strokes.
A Vitrolles map poster shows a town in two layers: the small medieval core by the rock and the planned expansion that grew out from it toward the lagoon. In black and white, the contrast between the blank water, the tight lines of the village and the looping streets of the newer districts is easy to read.

A steep outcrop rises above the old village. On the map it shows up as a small knot of short, winding lanes squeezed between the rock and the newer roads.
Residential areas built in the later twentieth century form cul-de-sacs, loops and broad avenues, a pattern quite different from the old Provençal core.

Why Vitrolles
People who grew up here, commute through it or took their first flight from the nearby airport often want a quiet record of the place. With the water on one side and the ridges on the other, the map is easy to recognise and calm enough to hang anywhere.
You can change the title and subtitle, add a date that matters to you, and keep or edit the coordinates line. Then choose one of five styles, from Classic black & white to Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand, to suit the room.
