Pop: 40,000
One of the most ancient Provence communes, Salon offers
beautiful views of countryside where the olive tree is
venerated. Its oldest section rests on a small rise
overseeing the narrow city byways.
Salon-de-Provence is also a magnet for its memorials to
Notradamus who lived and died there.
Contemporary industries include petroleum products
manufacturing, olive oil production and an air force base
that hosts the French Air Force Academy.
