The first salt marshes appeared on Île de Ré around the 19th century. These spaces were first reclaimed from the ocean thanks to a containment system whose maintenance is still the main task of salt workers today. In the 19th century, the salt-growing territories represented up to 1500 Ha, or nearly 20% of the island's surface area. For the preservation of goods, as well as for food, sea salt has gradually been replaced by rock salt (mine salt), so much so that the number of Rhaetian salt workers now stands at around a hundred. That's why I decided in the spring of 2012 to rehabilitate the family marsh inherited from my great-grandmother and left fallow from the ravages of storm Xynthia. Just as in my great-grandfather's day, I practice the exploitation of salt marshes in a traditional and natural way. Nature is simple and well-made, in order to obtain the fleur de sel, only sea water, sun and wind are required. Before becoming a salt worker, I studied political science in Bordeaux and then travelled a lot to discover other things before returning to France to become the keeper of the Whale Lighthouse not far from my current marsh. The salt worker’s job consists first of all in the construction and maintenance of the salt marsh using many tools, most often made of wood: the boguette, the rouable and the simoussi. I am in charge of my farm alone but many friends and acquaintances come to help me regularly and I also did a little Woofing to share the experience of the marsh with people from other countries. It allows me to share my passion for my job with people so that this activity continues.
