The first-badge city — home of Viola's photo-studio Bug Gym and the gateway to Lumiose.
Santalune is the first urban hub Trainers hit after leaving the starter towns. Viola's Gym runs out of a working photo studio. Alexa, Viola's older sister, keeps an apartment above the studio and often travels from it. It's a warm, small-city kind of place — enough traffic to be interesting, enough quiet to hear the Fletchling in the trees.
Cream-colored brick houses with brown-tiled roofs, a central plaza with a bronze Vivillon fountain, cobblestone streets lined with photographer's studios. Santalune Gym stands on the west side, its frontage decorated with blown-up Bug-type photos.
