Here is a small museum dedicated to the history of salt in Reunion Island. Perched on the magnificent site of the Pointe au Sel (which alone is worth the detour), this establishment offers an educational stroll through amusing questions and answers: why does the salary come from the word "salt"? Why is sea water salty? A twenty-minute film will be shown to you on your arrival and will retrace the interesting history of these places. We advise you to call beforehand to check the opening of the museum.

Un endroit qui vaut le détour, et qu'on s'y arrête. Le musée se visite rapidement mais est, néanmoins intéressant. De plus, à une centaine de mètres, vous avez une vue imprenable sur le souffleur
