Saint-Cannat (; ) is a commune in the Bouches-du-Rhône department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in Southern France. Part of the Aix-Marseille-Provence Metropolis, it is located just northwest of Aix-en-Provence, seat of the larger arrondissement.
==History== The village was named after Canus Natus, a 5th-century Roman Catholic saint, who was a Roman clergyman born with white hair, a quirk synonymous with great wisdom at the time. He was buried in Saint-Cannat, although there was no such place at the time, but soon enough several houses were built into a hamlet.
