Camargue Salt Works: looks like sand but it is Camargue
sea salt harvested from Mediterranean Sea water in huge
evaporation pools, continuing a tradition that goes back to
Medieval times.
Provence restaurants serve the salt at the table.
Called Fleur de Sel, by some packagers, this
finishing salt is  sprinkled lightly on food to give the
food a blast of salt (tingle) without salting the whole
meal.
