salt mine

[x-ben]

Hi
most of the salt we eat in France come from here:

worldwind://goto/world=Earth&lat=48.65229&lon=6.25437&alt =7757&dir=0.4&tilt=7.7

I leave in the city nearby (Nancy)

... I don't think it's the same thing. X-ben means salt mines and earth salt. You probably mean les "marais salants" (I don't know the english term), these great fields, near the sea, which are full of sea water which evaporates to let sea salt.

Hmm, I don't know that we have such an English Term. in Utah, there's the Great Salt Lake, and there's the Dead Sea, but I can't come up with any term. :huh:

Yes, sorry, the photo looked like an evaporation pond. The ones in San Francisco get salt from the ocean. There are many salt mines in the US also, but they are mostly underground so hard to see
