Salon de Provence Walking Tour | Discovering Nostradamus

On this, the eighth day of my tour around Provence, I enjoy a walking tour around Salon de Provence, a delightful town which for me ticked all the boxes. Upon arrival in Salon de Provence, I walked through some of the back streets towards the Statue to Michel de Nostradame, or Nostradamus as he is usually know as. Then it was a short walk up to the Church of Saint Laurent, or Collegiale Saint Laurent in Salon de Provence to visit the grave of Michel de Nostradame, Nostradamus.
A short walk back into town, through more picturesque back streets to a popular café for coffee and cake. The Café was situated near the Porte l’Horloge, one of the old entrance gates in Salon de Provence.

Just along from the café was another statue, this one was of Adam de Craponne, an engineer, who built the Canal de Craponne. Across from the stature of Adam de Crapone is the Porte Bourg Neuf, another fine entrance gate, which I went through on my way to the Nostradamus Museum, one of the main attractions in Salon de Provence. One the way up to the castle, I found some superb wall murals depicting famous French people before stopping for a pasta lunch at a cafe.

The cafe was located in a delightful square under the castle and one of the best locations I’ve enjoyed a lunch at. A walk up a flight of steps and at another building with wall murals on the front. Then to the castle or the Chateau de l’Emperi, in Salon de Provence. The castle was free to enter and walk around the grounds and the remains of the tower offered fine views over the town of Salon de Provence.

I had such an enjoyable day on my walking tour around Salon de Provence. There was so much history to see and it’s the history of Salon de Provence which I came to see in this south of France travel series.
