Venelles, Administrative commune in Bouches-du-Rhône, France.
Venelles is a commune in Bouches-du-Rhône that spreads across a highland area northeast of Aix-en-Provence. The town combines a rural layout with modern infrastructure and road connections to nearby cities.
The settlement has Roman origins and was attacked multiple times during the medieval period by different invaders. These disruptions shaped how the place developed over many centuries.
The town reflects Provençal traditions through weekly markets and seasonal celebrations that bring locals together. You can experience regional food and crafts that shape everyday life here.
The town is easy to reach by car or bus and offers parking near the center. Most facilities are within walking distance, making it simple to explore on foot.
A major earthquake in the late 1800s destroyed much of the older buildings and forced extensive rebuilding. This event fundamentally shaped the appearance of the town today.
