Loved the idea of it and found it very interesting, the guide on the train, was great and kept everyone up to date with what was what. I need to go back in Sept when they "harvest" the salt, as you had to use your imagination going in April. The museum was great for me but my husband wasn't quite... More

Tired after walking aroung the old city? Ride the mini-train through the salt works. If you watch the Discovery and History Channels, you'll find it very interesting; if not it's short, there's a gift shop with tasting, and where else can you see a mountain made of salt!

We rode the small tourist train (fee) thorough the salt works of this company. It was very interesting to see the huge salt pools, and the process used to "make" sea salt. The trip on the train was enjoyable, sun and lots of breezes. And anther wonderful plus is that you can look back towards the city of Aigues-Mortes and... More

My husband and I travelled on the little train on 16 September 2012, for half-price. The train journey was just as we had read on Tripadvisor. Poor sound quality in the audio, in French. We were given translated sheets in English, which did assist us. For half-price the visit was value for money, but at the full price, it wouldn't... More

Great visit to the salt flats of Aigues Mortes. The train ride through the salt flats was interesting and informative (although the quality of the recorded explanation was poor).

I have visited Aigues Mortes as my first time and during the winter. The streets are very quiet and relaxing to walk while you have time to visit the local stores with no crowds. There are also very good small restaurants where I enjoyed good food and wine. Definetly I recomend this place for the winter
