In spring, the salt worker launches the basins, and from March to August, the salt workers promote the circulation of seawater to increase the salt concentration. As the water evaporates, algae develops, which will give a pink color to the pool. Subsequently, the salt workers direct the brine into the crystallizers. After months of crystallization, the Camargue fleur de sel can be harvested.
