Salon de printemps - Salon-de-Provence It will be good to stroll around Salon-de-Provence during the Salon philatelic spring, because this city offers many surprises ... Starting with the Château de l'Empéri which, from its terrace, offers an exceptional view of the city. Avant-garde des Alpilles neighbouring, this stone vessel, one of the three castles of Provence still standing, protected the residence of the Archbishops of Arles for more than ten centuries. Once a stage of the popes and kings of France, since 1967, it houses, in its rooms with spectacular vaults, the collections of one of our most beautiful museums of the Army. In 1547, Nostradamus (1503–1566) moved to Salon-de-Provence. Author of many works, this philosopher, who has the ear of Catherine de Medici, is best known for his Prophecies. A visit to his house, transformed into a museum, is an opportunity to go to meet this brilliant spirit that has profoundly marked his time. Another celebrity of the place, Adam de Craponne (1526–1576) ensured prosperity. Its ingenious canal system, allowing the whole country to irrigate, marked the beginning of the industrial and agricultural boom of the city. Salon is developing with the trade of oils, and in particular olive oil, essential for the manufacture of Marseille soap. From 1752, it was the beginning of a golden age that reached its peak at the end of the 19th century, as evidenced by the important architectural heritage of the Soapiers district. The Tower of the Clock (17th century) marks the entrance of the city. The real happiness is to walk, from alleliers in shaded places decorated with fountains, including the charming Fountain foam. And if a rumble pulls you out of your daydreaming, look up: the famous Patrouille de France, stationed in Salon-de-Provence, is probably in the process of indulging in its aerial prowess. She, too, is the pride of the Salonnais.Specifications:Printing technique - IntaglioFace value - 1.29Thematic - Geography and TourismType of physical product - Beautiful single stampsNature of shipment - Green letter (D+3)Type of bonding - GummedShipment destination - FranceMaximum weight - 20gLegal Notice - Creation and engraving Christophe Laborde-Balen from photos (c) City of Salon-de-ProvenceAuthor - LABORDE-BALEN ChristopheIssue date - 04/08/2024Format - 60 x 25mmNumber of stamps per presentation - 1Permanent validity - NoValidity area - Departing from mainland France to France, Andorra and Monaco.
