Salon-de-Provence is a town in Bouches-du-Rhône where Provençal heritage is part of everyday life in the old town. Its streets and squares invite you to explore on foot, among historic façades, markets and places connected with local history. The town is particularly associated with Nostradamus, who lived here, and with the soap-making tradition. Its urban atmosphere remains on a human scale, while the open landscapes of the Crau begin on the outskirts.

The Château de l'Empéri overlooks the historic centre and houses a museum devoted to military history. The Maison de Nostradamus presents the life of the physician and astrologer in the town. Savonnerie Marius Fabre offers an insight into Salon's living soap-making tradition. Salon's bus and railway stations make it easy to travel to neighbouring towns; a car is useful for exploring the surrounding area and reaching the villages of Provence. Marseille-Provence Airport is 23 km away.

For a day of sightseeing, start with the château and the old town's narrow streets, then take time to visit the museums and squares. The markets offer a glimpse of local produce and customs. In spring and autumn, temperatures are often suitable for walks around town and excursions into the Provençal countryside. Summer brings more intense heat, so it is best to plan outdoor visits for the morning or late afternoon, then enjoy the pool and garden when you return.
