What to expect
The Salins du Midi, located in Aigues-Mortes, is a unique natural environment where salt is produced. The site is nestled between the medieval city walls and the Mediterranean Sea, offering a wild and preserved landscape. Visitors can discover how salt is produced and learn about the ancestral know-how of the sauniers, who regulate the water currents in response to climate variations and salt content. The site is also home to the famous Fleur de Sel de Camargue, which is harvested by hand. Families can enjoy a visit to the salt pans, a museum, and a boutique, as well as activities such as a train tour and tastings of local products
