The history of a living heritage listed by UNESCO: discover the secrets of salt production in Franche-Comté.

This is where the Franche-Comté salt epic began, capturing the white gold from the depths of the earth. The Grande Saline, a Unesco Living Heritage site, is one of the world's oldest igneous salt production sites. Stroll 165 m through an impressive 13th-century underground gallery, discover the 19th-century wheel movement, and soak up the laborious atmosphere of the evaporation building, home to France's last salt pan. A booklet-game for children aged 6 to 13 is available.

Notre groupe de motards avait réservé la visite guidée des salines.
Notre guide était charmante et a su nous présenter tous les aspects du travail du sel dans les différentes salles d'exposition. On peut même goûter à l'eau salée pompée en sous-sol...
Nous recommandons de prendre le temps de passer aux Salines.

Wonderful tribute to the convicts of salt. The white gold of Jura, essential to the production of the cheeses comtois and smoked meats, was deserved by sweat and the pain. To discover. As you can dive into the subsoils of salines where the pumping plant of the brine is still active. For the well-being motorist in winter, the brine is now used for the curing of the snowy roads.
