Miserey-Salines

Few communes in Franche-Comté have a history as closely tied to salt production as Miserey-Salines. The commune lies north of Besançon, on a plateau above the Doubs valley and near the Jura Mountains. The second part of its name preserves the memory of the saline works that connected it to the region’s long salt industry. Now part of Grand Besançon Métropole, it marks the transition from the city’s outskirts to the open countryside of the Doubs department. Besançon’s Vauban-designed Citadel, included in the UNESCO-listed Fortifications of Vauban, is a major cultural landmark nearby.
