Cornillon-Confoux (French pronunciation: [kɔʁnijɔ̃ kɔ̃fuks]; Occitan: Cornilhon e Conforç) is a commune of the Bouches-du-Rhône department in the region Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. It belongs to the West Provence territory of the metropolis of Aix-Marseille-Provence.

Culture

Adjacent to the church are three statues of very different women: the Victory of Ikaria, a sculpture by Polish artist Igor Mitoraj, inaugurated at the end of 2007; a Our Lady of Expectation (Virgin Mary pregnant) from 1865; and a Marianne, symbol of the French Republic.

There are many traditional French bories (stone shelters) located within the village and surrounding area, and a quite important apiary wall.
