In Hyères, salt production began on the former Pesquiers fishing pond in 1848 and continued for almost 150 years. As well as preserving the memory of this traditional activity, this protected area also boasts an exceptional ornithological heritage.

Stretching over 900 ha between the 2 sandy strips of the tombolo, a distinctive landscape feature of the Giens peninsula, the Salins d'Hyères site includes the Vieux Salins (to the north) and the Salin des Pesquiers. Blown by the sun and wind, this landscape of water and salt bears witness to the flourishing activity of the salt workers. In 1967, the entire site was taken over by the Compagnie des Salins du Midi.
