[2025 Aigues-Mortes Attraction] Travel Guide for Salin d'Aigues-Mortes (Updated Jul)

I stumbled upon the pink salt fields online and immediately decided it had to be on my itinerary for Southern France! Salin d’Aigues-Mortes, renowned for its dreamy pink salt lake scenery, is a paradise for photographers and nature enthusiasts (especially those who love flamingos). It’s also one of Europe’s largest and oldest sea salt production sites! 🌸 Why is it pink? The pink hue of the salt fields is due to the presence of a microalga called Dunaliella salina. These algae release beta-carotene in high-salinity environments, giving the water its pink or reddish color. This phenomenon is most prominent during the summer months (June to September). The park is vast, and you can explore it on foot, by car, or via a small tourist train. Be sure to book your tickets in advance, as it’s incredibly popular! Even during the off-season, we couldn’t get train tickets and had to explore on foot.

🌟 Quick overview of the highlights of the strategy 1. God's overturned pink palette: The high-salt lake water appears a dreamy pink and purple color due to algae and halophilic bacteria, and looks like an oil painting on a sunny day. 2. Surrounded by the medieval ancient city: the city walls and the Tower of Constance built by Louis IX in the 13th century, with a sense of history and romance. 3. A sightseeing train rides through the salt fields: After free parking, take the bright yellow train for a 1 hour and 15 minute immersive tour. The French explanation can also be made up by the appearance. 4. 🌅「Magic Hour」The light after 5pm! The salt crystals look like rose candy sprinkled with gold powder, the flamingo wings are coated with amber, and even the shadows have a pink bubble filter! 5.🔥「Hidden Easter Egg」Ecologists say: Algae will grow rapidly in July and August! The lake water directly switches to "hot rose red" mode, and the salt field instantly turns into a giant eyeshadow palette! Basic Information - Address: Route du Grau du Roi, 30220 Aigues-Mortes, France - Opening hours: March 18th to November 11th every year (best in summer) - Ticket price: 10.3 euros per person for adults, including the train fee. - Transportation: It is recommended to drive yourself or charter a car! Public transportation in southern France is not convenient, and it takes about an hour to drive from Avignon/Montpellier. 📸 Photo shooting guide 1. Outfit suggestions: white or light-colored long skirt + straw hat, the salt lake background has a soft light filter, and the fairy style is fully brought out! 2. Best camera position: The train stops along the way: the salt hill and the pink lake are in the same frame, the layering effect is amazing! The platform at the top of the tower: overlooking the entire salt field, with a clear view of the pink and purple gradient under the Provence sunshine. 3. Golden Hour: Early morning or 1 hour before sunset, the light is soft and the pink is more intense! 💡 Tips for playing 1. Season selection: July is the best! Stop by the Provence lavender fields and Avignon Theatre Festival for a romantic experience. 2. Sun protection is essential: There is no shade in the salt fields, so sunglasses, sunscreen and parasols are essential! 3. Hidden Easter eggs: You can buy natural pink salt as souvenirs at the salt field store. It is very special for personal use or as a gift~ 🚫 Tips for avoiding pitfalls Don’t wear high heels: the ground in Yantian is rough, so comfortable flat shoes are the way to go! Be cautious with drones: some areas are off-limits for flying, so check the regulations in advance to avoid fines. 🌈 Recommended itinerary Day 1: Aigues-Mortes Pink Salt Lake → Exploring the Tower of Constance → Walking along the ancient city wall Day 2: Lavender fields in Valensole, Provence → Night view of old town Avignon

#春好去处2024 When it comes to pink lakes, everyone will think of Australia's Hutt Lagoon, but there is a more beautiful salt lake in Provence, France, which is pink and purple-Aigues Mortes Saline.💗 Aigues-Mortes means dead water in French. In the extreme environment of high salt, there are no fish in the water, but there are algae and halophilic bacteria. These microorganisms not only make the salt pans orange and pink, but also one of the food sources for brine shrimp. Brine shrimp🦐 turn red after eating salt, and the flamingo eats the brine shrimp, which also turns orange with pink.
