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.
