Le sel de la pointe au sel a Saint Leu:

One of the most significant examples is that of the saltworks of the Pointe au Sel of Saint-Leu given in state by Philippe Gélie in 1996.

The salt story

The saltworks, the Pointe au Sel, Saint-Leu are located inReunion Island. Philippe Gélie is a Breton who decided to give in state and to exploit the 22.000m basins created by Breton paludiers (at past century) with the assistance of the young people of the place, of old of the saltworks and the Masters paludiers of Guérande.

The salt, the essential spice.

This excellent quality flower of salt from Reunion had disappeared from the tables of the island since twenty years. Today the salt of the island is back and is marketed in the supermarkets of the island and of... Brittany.
