Departmental Salt Museum

"Located in the "Porte de France", the oldest town gate, the Salt Museum at Marsal tells the story of "white gold" via salt production techniques from the prehistoric age to modern times and in particular the so-called "briquetage" technique which consisted of heating the brine in ceramic vessels. From saltwater pools to the impressive collection of saltcellars, the visitor will travel through a world of salt in all its forms. The museum also displays valuable archeological artifacts and traces the history of Vauban's fortifications."
