Étang de Lavalduc, or La Valduc, is a saltwater lagoon with varying levels of salinity in the Mediterranean Sea, west of the Étang de Berre and north of Fos-sur-Mer. The property belongs to the Salins du Midi company, which has made it a storage tank for brine. It is located in three municipalities: Saint-Mitre-les-Remparts, Istres and Fos-sur-Mer, Bouches-du-Rhône. Its coloring of an iridescent pink blue is due to the presence of small crustaceans such as Artemia salina. Located at an average altitude of about 10 m below sea level, it is the lowest point in France.
