tourism Salins les Bains
Salins-les-Bains is a small town found in the valley of the Furious, in the department of Jura and in the Franche-Comté region. She is known primarily for the salt that is one of the first attractions of the department, listed on the tentative list of World Heritage by UNESCO in 2009.
The city lies at the heart of the valley and ends up protected by fortified escarpments that were used to defend the city.
Since antiquity, the city has prospered through the exploitation of salt, which allowed obtaining rock salt. Over time, the city will wipe the wars and suffer damage. The salt lead the city's prosperity, but it does not last. By 1857, Salins-les-Bains develops another activity: it becomes a spa.
