Saline Royale et Arc Senans
Royal Saltworks of Arc Senans is located in the forest of Chaux. An early architectural project to rationalize industrial buildings and processes according to a philosophical order.The construction of Saline Royale was carried out by the visionary architect Claude-Nicolas Ledoux, which began in 1774 and took until 1779.
Plans were also made to increase the layout and scale of Saline Royale to be the ideal city, however this was never completed.
It is really worth the visit, you will learn so much about the history and processing of the salt mined in the neighbouring locality of Salins-les-Bains and more.
