Vitrolles

Vitrolles is a commune in the Bouches-du-Rhône department in southeastern France. The town sits within the Aix-Marseille-Provence metropolitan area, featuring a mix of residential zones and commercial spaces that have developed over recent decades.

The town developed rapidly during the 20th century, particularly after World War II as housing demand grew in the region. This growth transformed it from a small settlement into a residential center serving the greater Marseille area.

Municipal organizations within the canton coordinate events throughout the year, bringing together residents from different communes to share local traditions.

The commune is easily reached by public transportation from Marseille and has parking areas in central locations. For administrative services, the town hall on Place de Provence handles resident inquiries and local matters.

The canton maintains distinct governance structures for each of its four communes while operating under a unified administrative framework that serves 67,498 inhabitants.
