The Vieux Salins (formerly called Salins de Saint Nicolas) are several small salt marshes dating from the Middle Ages. Today it is a rich nature reserve where you can observe many species of birds such as pink flamingos.

The entire path past the old salt flats is actually closed to bicycles. If you don't mind a bit of sand and narrow, uneven paths, and are considerate of pedestrians (dismount), don't let that deter you: It's a very beautiful path with many untouched sandy beaches, ideal for a break.

Hello, there's now a very visible sign prohibiting bicycles from crossing the Old Salt Marshes Trail.
Dismount to do this because it's splendid and it would be a shame to miss out.
