Salon-de-Provence, Medieval commune in Bouches-du-Rhône, France

The town extends around a hilltop crowned by the Château de l'Empéri fortress, with narrow streets winding through its historical center.

The Château de l'Empéri, constructed in the 10th century, served as the residence for the archbishops of Arles and Germanic emperors.

The Musée de Salon et de la Crau presents exhibitions about local olive oil production, soap making, and the natural history of the region.

The town sits strategically between Aix-en-Provence and Avignon, with direct access to the N7 route and A8 motorway for convenient transportation.

Since 1964, Salon-de-Provence Air Base houses the Patrouille de France, the precision aerobatic demonstration unit of the French Air Force.
