Salon-de-Provence is a town in the Bouches-du-Rhône, at the heart of the Salon country, between Aix-en-Provence, Marseille and Avignon. Set between the Crau plain, the Alpilles and the Étang de Berre, it long lived off olive growing, olive oil and soap making, a soap-making trade that continues there to this day.
The old town huddles at the foot of the Château de l'Empéri, one of the largest fortified castles in Provence, between the Porte de l'Horloge, the Saint-Laurent collegiate church, where Nostradamus lies, having lived and died in Salon, and the mossy fountain of the Place Crousillat. Salon is also the town of Adam de Craponne, the engineer of the canal that irrigated the Crau, and the base of the 701 air base, home to the Patrouille de France.
The geography of prices follows this pattern. The old town, the residential areas to the east such as Les Viougues and Pilon Blanc, and the detached-housing districts to the north are gaining value, while the large housing estates to the west and south, such as Vert Bocage and the areas near Gandonne, remain more affordable.
