Salon was a Gallo-Roman oppidum well positioned on the salt trade routes between Adriatic, Atlantic and Mediterranean seas, hence its name.

His dwelling is maintained as a museum, and for four days every June or July, the city celebrates its history during the time of Nostradamus, attracting tourists.

It was the preferred residence of the bishops of Arles, when Provence was part of the Holy Roman Empire, hence its name.

Built during the 13th century, this chapel boasts a remarkable Romanesque tympanum featuring the paschal lamb.

Some years the Château is the venue for Nostradamiques – an historical re-enactment of the time of Nostradamus which includes processions and a transformation of the old medieval downtown.
