salt granaries, used to store salt for cod fishing vessels, now host events.

Originally three in number (the last burnt down in 1892), the granaries are vast stone buildings dating back to the 17th century. Located not far from the Hôtel de Ville, they were built by the Ferme des Gabelles, under the authority of Colbert, to store the salt (up to 10,000 tons) needed for the cod fishing fleet. Like the church of Sainte-Catherine, their oak frames are reminiscent of a ship’s hull. Listed as a historic monument in 1916, they now host numerous cultural events.

L'entrée du grenier à sel est facilement repérable, ensuite une fois l'entrée franchie, vous y découvrez un bâtiment bien retapée avec une magnifique pierre et un plafond en bois superbe. Lors de notre visite il y avait une exposition de passionnés de la mer avec différents thèmes : modélisme, porte clé, affiches...

Les greniers à sel se situent pas loin du vieux bassin. N'hésitez pas à y faire un tour pour voir ces jolis bâtiments. Ca vaut le détour.

The salt loft is a remarkable building. Fact white stones in base and wooden framing the old rise, while flying buttresses in the purest Norman style. The exhibitions of paintings that are now it allow you to discover the local talents and paintings by Masters. It is a visit which is essential when you visit Honfleur.
