Saint-Savournin (in French pronounced as /sɛ̃ savuʁnɛ̃/; Occitan (post 1500);: Sant Savornin) is a commune east of Marseille at the eastern extremity of the Massif de l'Étoile between Cadolive and Mimet in the Bouches-du-Rhône department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southern France.
Signs of neolithic settlement have been found and extensive evidence has been identified of human habitation during the Gallo-Roman centuries.
Medieval Saint-Savournin was a village that made its living from the land, rearing sheep and goats and cultivating olives.
