Gardanne (; ) is a commune in the Bouches-du-Rhône department in southern France. Its inhabitants are called Gardannais.
==Geography== Situated close to Aix-en-Provence and Marseille and on the rail link connecting the two cities, Gardanne is bordered by the Massif du Montaiguet. The terrain is moderately elevated, with some areas reaching over 200 meters (656 feet) above sea level. The surrounding countryside includes forests, vineyards, and former mining sites from the town's historical coal-mining industry. The Arc River flows nearby, contributing to the region's drainage and agricultural viability. Following devastating bush fires in 1979 and 2005, garrigue now covers a wide area of the region.
