Historical and industrial site, the Great Saline of Salins has been declared World Heritage by UNESCO, in extension of the Royal Saline of Arc-et-Senans.
The tour begins with the discovery of the 13th century underground gallery in which a 19th century hydraulic pumping system is still in operation. Currently, this pump continues to draw a brine loaded with 330 g of salt per liter of water.
The evaporation building which presents the last salt stove of France, then allows to imagine the difficult working conditions of the salt workers until 1962.
