Salin-de-Giraud (French pronunciation: [salɛ̃ də ʒiʁo]; Occitan: Sali de Giraud) is a village located in the commune of Arles in Bouches-du-Rhône (canton Arles-Ouest), approximately 40 kilometers from the city center of Arles.[1]

History

[edit]

Salin-de-Giraud lies southeast of the Camargue delta, on the right bank of the RhĂ´ne. The village was established in 1856. The salt marshes located in the southeastern corner of the Camargue have made Salin-de-Giraud a major center of salt production.[2]
