a town of Provence in France, seated on the Mediterranean sea. It is a pretty little town, and was formerly a colony of the Marfilians; and pilgrims used to embark here for the holy land. But its harbour being now choked up, it is considerable only for its salt-works. E. Long. 6. 13. N. Lat. 43. 7.
