Sauniers De L'Ile De Re

The salt maker uses sea water. After a long journey, and especially thanks to the action of the sun and wind, the sea water evaporates slowly and passing of 30 grams of salt per literat the beginning of the course to 250 grams of salt per liter of water in the end. To better understand, let's go with the flow ... on the Ile de Ré, a salt marsh is composed of 3 large sets of basins: . the vasais the métières, and the marsh field  These basins have been expertly carved into natural clay so that the water passes from one to the other by gravity.
