Salon is a quiet, elegant and family friendly town famous for its Jazz and classical music summer festival as well as being the training base for the "French Arrows pilots", which gives it a rather upmarket reputation.
Salon is an ideal base to explore Provence, from the Fields of lavenders of Manosque, to the olive mills of Maussane, Peter mayle's famous Luberon, the wine cellars of Bandol and Cassis, the stunning views of the bay of Marseille with its "Cape town" air, scuba creeks and windsurf friendly beaches, the wild horses bulls and pink flamingos of Camargue and the canoeing lakes and gorges of the Verdon.
Whether you are interested in sport activities (golf, scuba, rock climbing, riding, wind-surfing, mountain biking, para-gliding, tennis or even petanque) or expect great weather, fine cuisine and places of high taste and culture, the towns and region all around Salon have all of this to offer you within very short distance of each other.
Salon is officially the town in France with the highest number of sunny days a year. That is why the air base is located there for training purposes. Expect stunning demonstrations of the national patrol each Saturday lunch time!
