(S/E) Start at the street on the corner, near a hairdresser's. Follow Rue de la Salorge, passing in front of the École des Salines. At the stop sign, take Chemin du Père Christal opposite. At the next intersection, turn left onto the path until you see the sign for "Le sentier des fleurs de sel" (the salt flower path).
(1) At this point, turn right. After the small bridge, take the gravel path on the right. (You can take a look at the three active salt marshes on the left and then return to the small bridge).
(2) At the next intersection, turn left and continue on the main road that winds between the marsh ponds.
(3) At the next intersection, turn right towards "Canoë de l'Auzance, Plages. La Salaire".
(4) At the new intersection, turn right, then 150 m further on, turn right again. Join the paved road.
(5) Turn right. Pass the entrances to the Cupressus and Kierrey cul-de-sacs. Then turn right into Impasse des Gabelous.
(6) At the bend, turn right onto the path marked "centre bourg". Ignore the first path on the right and continue to the next fork. Here, leave the main path, which leads to the village, and turn onto the path on the right to walk between two stretches of water and towards a hut. Continue along the ponds on your right. Join a path just before entering the marsh. Continue straight ahead and, after 60 m, turn left to rejoin the Chemin du Père Christal, which you took on the way there. The Rue de la Salorge, which continues on from here, will take you back to the starting point (S/E).
If you do this hike in July or August, you can extend your exploration of the marshes by climbing to the top of the bell tower to enjoy the panoramic view.
