Coudoux (in French pronounced as /kuduks/; Occitan (post 1500);: Codoç) is a commune in the Bouches-du-Rhône department in southern France.
It is 17km (11miles) away from Aix-en-Provence, 20km (10miles) away from Salon-de-Provence, and nearly 40km (30miles) away from Marseille. As for villages, it is 3km (02miles) away from Velaux, 4km (02miles) away from La Fare-les-Oliviers, 5km (03miles) away from Ventabren and about 10km (10miles) away from Éguilles.
As early as the 16th century, there were two hamlets, "Petit Coudoux" (Small Coudoux) and "Grand Coudoux" (Big Coudoux). However, these were part of the commune of Ventabren and it was only in 1950 that Coudoux was made a commune in its own right.
Since 2004 Coudoux is twinned with Baone, Province of Padua, Italy.
