visited the last veek-end.
Too expensive for what it is!
Trains crowded, old and uncomfortable.
the sound of the audio tape was deplorable.
The microphone of the guide was HS, she had to scream for us to hear.
beautiful scenery and beautiful color but you can see almost the same along the salin...

Nice family trip with a little train. The explanations are clear on the operation of the salt flats and the landscapes are superb. However the price is a bit high and the saline products are more expensive than in the trade ... a shame!

The previous reviews made me a little skeptical, but I've been to the region many times and never visited the salt lakes. I wanted to change that now. I can only say that it is definitely worth it, as there are audio guides for 2, with which you can get all the information in German, English, Span...

Interesting tour, but nothing exceptional.
One learns how are table salt harvest, snow and flower.
Passage in the salt flats, visit of one hour in a small train.
We ride on a camel of salt and we have a nice panorama.
In short, a nice visit that explains well where does this famous salt with the...

Today, you line up from 10:15 am to 10:45 am in front of the ticket office and arrive your turn to tell yourself that the next train is at 1:30 pm. An indication on a sign would have been useful. Pity . Lots of people disappointed.

10 euros is the price of a cinema ticket, two kebabs, 10 baguettes of bread, the rental of a kayak for 1 hour, a trip to Paris Nantes by train. In short, so many things that are worth more than this visit to the salt marshes given the deplorable conditions that must be endured to do it. Crowded like...

The visit with the little train is nice and well commented
The only thing that is not more expensive is that we pay 10 at the cash desk then when getting off the train the driver asks to think of him and we feel obliged to give the room because he waits at the exit

Unique place in the heart of a captivating Camargue. The Salin d'Aigues-Mortes is a dynamic company, rooted in its territory and heir to a know-how that must be valued. To do this, various activities are offered by the structure, from accompanied hiking to a little train ride between ponds and camel...

A must in the Camargue to discover the manufacture of salt while exploring a protected place.
The 1h15 train trip (10.3 / adult) is pleasant with the explanations of the driver and the passage through the museum.

Useful info: the salt harvest period is in September

Superb tour by train with an excellent guide who loves his job. Stop on a camelle de sel.ne not hesitate to ask to increase the sound in the small train if necessary.

To do rather in the morning. Ideally 9h30 or 10h.

The salt does not work on weekends. The activity is seasonal.

We are 7 for a visit of the site by bike (our bikes). Price of the visit: 20 per person, or 140.
We then look at the price of the walking tour: 8 50 and 10 by small train.

How to justify this scandalous price difference? "It is a dissuasive price because the route is not suitable for cyc...

Certainly very interesting if you could understand something. The best way to buy a ticket is online. Unfortunately, non-French visitors are not dealt with here either. The entire tour is only in French. For Western Europeans, at least explaining in English seems too much to ask. Too bad.

Rather nice visit except the fact that social distancing is not respected at all.
We are piled up on benches with unknown people.
This is unacceptable at this time of the upsurge in covid.
In addition, the driver's explanations are often quite vague.

Departure of the visit to the Salins that we did by little train. No explanations on the whole trip. Vague comments from the train driver, full of good will, but very approximate. Equipment, museum and site close to being abandoned. Too expensive.

Interesting. The visit to the salt museum in 15 minutes at a time and quite prohibitive in price whether in the museum or in the shop, we expect something less expensive being the place of production. Special tourist price otherwise the ticket is not exorbitant.
