Salon-de-Provence

Shortened to "Salon", the city of Salon de Provence is a very nice place, it is in the south of France, half an hour from Marseilles and a hour from Avignon. There is a train station but very few trains stop here, from Marseille you can go by bus also. There is a lovely old town, quite small, you can see the city in an afternoon, but to sleep there, and discover the rest of the region by the day, is a nice choice. Salon has a good range of hotels and restaurants to accommodate visitors. The city is famous because Nostradamus lived there. It is a medieval city that has a warm climate in summer.

The interesting things to see include the House of Nostradamus, the castle and the Empéri Museum, and in summer there are many concerts and festivals in Salon and the surrounding area. It is a little similar to Aix en Provence, but cheaper and with less tourism.
