Saint Savournin

Population : 2,577. Area : 5.76 km²

Bouches du Rhône department


North of Marseilles (28 km) on the D908
Between Gardanne and Aubagne, on the D8 and the D7


Turning its back on Marseilles, between Aix and Aubagne, far away from the industrial revolutions… and even further from the over-populated adjacent conurbations, Saint Savournin is an old mining village, located at the foot of the Etoile massif.

Runninig parallel to the route départementale D7 which crosses it, the main street is hidden behind back-to-back houses.
Although the old coal mines are not open to the public, the Etoile massif is criss-crossed with paths which delight nature lovers and give visitors the opportunity to enjoy splendid walks.
