Running

The Villeneuve saltworks are a protected area that was once exploited (from the 12th century until 1969). It is a superb site for running within the Montpellier conurbation.

Running

For many centuries, an important natural product was extracted from the saltwater of the sea here. Only through the power of the elements, sun and wind, which evaporate the water in the low salt pans, does pure salt remain. Even today, you won't find a kitchen without salt to season dishes. But in earlier times, it had an additional significance: It was important for preserving food—making it so precious that salt was called "white gold."
