Saint-Cannat (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ kana]; Occitan: Sant Canat) is a commune in the Bouches-du-Rhône department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in Southern France.

Part of the Aix-Marseille-Provence Metropolis, it is located just northwest of Aix-en-Provence, seat of the larger arrondissement.

[3] In the 13th century, villagers turned on their archbishop and pledged allegiance to the lord of Les Baux, and then to the kings of Sicily (namely, Frederic III of Aragon, or perhaps Louis XIII).

On 11 June 1909 a terrible earthquake, the largest ever recorded in metropolitan France, destroyed almost everything in the area.

[3] It has retained several fountains dating back to the 17th and 18th century, the remains of the medieval ramparts and the château, which today houses the town hall and museum.
