Venelles, Administrative commune in Bouches-du-Rhône, France.
Venelles extends across 20.54 square kilometers of terrain at an elevation of 409 meters, located 15 kilometers northeast of Aix-en-Provence.
The settlement dates to 15 BC as a Roman outpost, experiencing destruction by Lombards in 574 AD and later by Saracens in the 11th century.
Local traditions manifest through regular markets and festivals that showcase the regional customs and gastronomy of Provence throughout the year.
The commune maintains direct transportation connections to major cities like Marseille and Montpellier, with local services accessible at the town hall.
An earthquake in 1909 reshaped the physical landscape of Venelles, leading to extensive reconstruction efforts that defined its current architectural character.
