The largest Mediterranean salt marsh next to the medieval city Aigues-Mortes, France Tags:Europe 9 comments Looks really cool. Very different from the places I’ve been in Fracne too [deleted] That’s only 40km from me! I bet that was a roman fort once Atlantic salt is better anyway It was at these sea salt marshes in Aigues-Mortes that the lynching of Italian workers by French mobs happened in 1893. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacre_of_Italians_at_Aigues-Mortes Name is appropriate Aigues Mortes = dead water in Catalan if I’m not mistaken Fun fact: Aigües mortes is Catalan, not French! It was founded as a port by Saint Louis. Just outside the picture there’s a canal that goes straight out to the sea. Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
