THE SALINS SALT FLATS

THE SALINS SALT FLATS
This family's experience:

Activities: We visited Les Salines de Salins, an easy to access place. We had a guided tour, it started with a historical overview of the town and salt, then we went down into the salt mines. "The site is well maintained. The guided tour is very interesting". "They all got to taste the salt water". We finished with a film made with images from the time

Highlights: Our son loved it, even if his many questions were not all oriented. The girls also listened well and everyone stayed calm. "The children were as happy as their parents about this instructive day..." ✨
