Saltern

Inflorescences of gypsum, which settles before the table salt.

Saltern of Aigues-Mortes, Gard, France, May.

"Our company exploits over 30,000 hectares in the Camargue, mostly inaccessible to the public. The Aiges-Mortes saltern alone, at around 10,000 hectares, is larger than the city of Paris!"

Jacques Balossier, director of Salins du Midi and Salins de l'Est, Aigues-Mortes, Gard, France
