Not quite a route like the Route du Thé, the 18th-century salt flats along the main road in Tamarin are a popular stopping point for camera-happy travellers. This is the last place in Mauritius where salt is still produced and the compulsory 15- to 20-minute guided tour takes you through the history of this fading industry with the chance for some good photos. There's also a small shop at the entrance.
