Talk:Aigues-Mortes

Purple water
It might be nice to mention somewhere in the article how the algae turns the water outside the city purple (you can see it in salt picture in the gallery). I don't know how unique that is, but I believe it's one of the things Aigues-Mortes is sort of known for; I don't have a source handy, which is why I'm mentioning it here first, in case any of this article's regular contributors have anything. &mdash;Politizer( talk • contribs ) 16:47, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

I've noticed that. It is actually in the salt pans and I was under the impression it was due to the salt making process and not algae, but you may be right - presumably some algae that positively thrives in a high salinity habitat. Would be nice to know, either way. Incidentally, there is an interesting website from the salt company at - most of it available in English. Emeraude (talk) 17:13, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

language
the article seems to be a translation from the French and needs a going over to turn it into idiomatic English. Actio (talk) 00:37, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
