Ile de Re is very beautiful, and salt extraction is very beautiful and time-consuming. It does not work that fast. There are several salt water pools with different salt concentrations and only in the last one can the salt be extracted and has nothing to do with ebb and flow.
Unfortunately, Ile de Re is now very overcrowded with thousands of cyclists, including many older e-bikers and those who do not have control of their bikes😲😲

Very nice! You can often see whole mountains of salt drying in the sun.
