La visite avec l'histopad est une réussite complète. Notre petit-fils et nous-mêmes avons été enthousiasmés. C'est juste génial de pouvoir faire la visite à son rythme. Bravo !

Super découverte...mais pour comprendre pourquoi un tel site, il faut d anord visiter salins les bains...

Gain de temps a l'entrée, seul bémol, les tablettes sont tout sauf conviviale.

A a partir du moment où il faut passer obligatoirement à la caisse et qu il n y a aucune réduction de prix je ne vois pas l intérêt d acheter les billets via le site.

L accès était très simple, tout était déjà réglé, nous avons simplement montré notre justificatif et les salines nous ouvraient leurs portes. Très bien !
