La Ruée vers l’Or Blanc leads children through the Grande Saline in search of the salt water beneath Salins-les-Bains. A guided visit introduces the wells before an evaporation experiment reveals how salt crystals form. Participants then use miniature tools to reproduce the work of the salt workers in a workshop designed for children aged six to eleven.
