5.00Lively, interactive, welcoming. This was such fun, we wouldn’t have believed how interesting it was. Lots about history and the palusiers - salt makers - who’ve been using the same methods for centuries. Don’t miss the Salt Marsh Museum (Musée des Marais Salants) in Batz-sur-Mer which is excellent too.
To do obviously..
