SALT LOFT - RABBI'S HOUSE

When you discover the salt attic, you finally understand why Mussy's village needed such ramparts to protect itself. At the entrance to the picturesque rue des Jews, the xve century's granary of the bishops of Langres housed the salt of the gabelle (tax) of the surrounding parishes. That tax came back to the King. The place was therefore a lot of passage and served as a warehouse for a resource essential to the conservation of products at the time. Anecdotal evidence existed at the time, that is, smugglers, who tried to dodge the template. Back the street, you can discover the house of the Rabbi, a magnificent Renaissance building in the sixteenth century (take a look at its massive wooden door). It is this neighborhood that hosts the Mussy Jews, many between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries. The village, very well maintained, deserves a guided tour to discover all the old buildings, the alleys and the arm of Seine.
