a town of France, in the department of Bouche-du-Rhone, in a plain rendered luxuriantly fertile by irrigation, 29 miles N.N.W. of Marseilles. There is a neat modern quarter surrounding the old town in the centre, and separated from it by a well-planted boulevard. Some of the houses in the old town are good, and there are two curious ancient churches, one of which contains the remains of the celebrated Nostradamus. On a height at one end of Salon stands the castle of this astrologer, now a barrack. Silk, hats, soap, and olive oil are made here; and the trade of the place is considerable. Pop. 5617.
