salin d'aigues-mortes印象
-
We took the private jeep safari for 2 adults and 3 children. It was a fantastic way to learn about the salt lakes as well as see the beautiful nature. We saw lots and lots of beautiful flamingoes. Our guide spoke English and was very accommodating to stop every time we wanted to take a photo. This whole area is private and on our trip we didn't run into anyone else. I would highly recommend this trip if you are visiting the area.

I found the visit worthwhile as you learn of how they take salt water to obtain salt, how it is cleaned and stored. You need to drive to the site, park and then purchase your ticket to board a little train that takes you around the marshes to see all the process. Tickets are sold with a specific departure time, usually about 15 minutes later so there is no need to wait in line, everyone issued a ticket for 4 pm, let's say, will get on at 4 pm. Before you get on the train it is good to go to the adjacent tents to learn about the different salts, etc. I learned that Fleur de Sel is not use while cooking as it doesn't dissolve, but sprinkled over your dishes as it gives a salty and crunchy taste. Unfortunately, the tour is only done in French so you don't enjoy it fully if you don't understand the language. They could do it in both French and English but somehow this does not happen. Nice view of the pink marshes, the flamingos and the castle. Take your camera.

Worth a visit on the little train that takes you around the saltpans very interesting visit. A sheet of the commentary was given to us in English if you don't speak French

Who would have thought that sitting on a little train driving around flat terrain looking at piles of salt would be so enjoyable? We didn't even get to see it before the harvest, so not even at it's best, but I really found the trip and the description of how salt is extracted and processed really interesting (I speak French). The driver gives the commentary entirely in strongly accented southern French, so not so good for non-French speakers. The little museum was fun also and I particularly loved the salt products sold, especially the retro blue tins of La Baleine salt (named after the shape of the large salt mounds). We went with four children aged 2-10, and they had a great time.

We decided to visit "Les Salins d'Aigues-Mortes" a vast salt production site in the Carmargue. We booked a trip in a small train and spent one and a half hours visiting the salt plains. It was a very interesting visit and we could learn a lot about the salt production. The one negative point (the reason why I cannot give a 5 point rating) is the high price one has to pay to take the train (9 EUR per person).
-
Nice store at the end, where you can buy different kinds of salts and rice, other then that, tour is in french, also the museum.

It is really interesting this visit since you can admire many natural beauties and also understand how complex and difficult is the production of salt. Highly raccomanded!

OK - the salt area is interesting and normally I really like this sort of experience, but once you have seen one salt "field" you have seen them all. The one and a half hour trip becomes very "samey". In October we saw some flamingos but why, oh why, didn't the driver stop so we could take photos? He stopped just the once to take photos looking back at the ramparts of Aigues Mortes but could have given many more photo opportunities. To be fair we could take pictures at the information stop after an hour but we were herded into the centre and encouraged to buy and I had to find my own way outside to take photos.Tannoy on train in French but we did have English information sheets to read and in the information centre many info posters also had English on them. Would I take friends on this? No.

A little land train takes you on a tour around the salt marshes. You see all the stages in the process that takes sea water and turns it into salt. There are some spectacular views of the ramparts of Aigues-Mortes and of he marshes themselves with their beautiful pink colours. There is a commentary in French but you are provided with a written translation in English. The train stops at a small museum during the tour and there is a gift shop at the start/end. We read reviews that warned of mosquitos but we didn't notice any. I would very much recommend this if you are in the area. It is suitable for all ages - our 7 and 10 year-old children enjoyed it.

This was a great way to spend a morning. There were 3 generations in our party and all equally enjoyed it. We got the first train at 10am and were finished at just after 11.30am - just long enough for the little ones. We all found the process of how the salt is extracted from the water very interesting, we had a good guide in English to read on the way round and the stop about 2/3 of the way through to see the 'museum' breaks the train journey in just the right place. The only caution I would give is beware of the mosquitoes in the wooded area when you are queuing at the ticket office/waiting for the train. Spray before you go!!
