Salin de Giraud Print

The village of Salin-de-Giraud, in the south-east of the Camargue Delta, is located on the right bank of the Rhône, 40 km from the city centre. With the large wild beach of Piémanson, its seven kilometers of fine sand and the Gulf of Beauduc, Salin-de-Giraud offers the municipality a highly sought-after seafront during the summer season. The beaches have become one of the most beautiful kitesurfing spots in the south of France, a timeless place that has been forgotten by geographical maps. At the end of the 19th century, the village developed near the mouth of the Rhone, with the establishment of two companies engaged in the production of salt. In 1895 the Solvay company was established, which made possible the production of soda, which was transported to the Marseille soap factories by boat across the Rhone and then the sea. From the vantage point on the road to the beach, you can see the spectacular camelles de sel (salt pans) and salt tables can be discovered just off the road. The vast area of the salt marshes is of great ecological and landscape interest, and the development of a small number of invertebrate species provides birds with abundant food, allowing them to nest in a unique way in Europe, especially pink flamingos.
