The semi-circular row of 5 buildings includes a blacksmith's workshop, a cooperage, and accommodation for different workmen and their families. The Entrance Pavilion also housed guards for the site. Two additional houses were used as offices. The saltworks closed in 1895 and the site is now a museum. Some of the buildings have been adapted to provide overnight holiday accommodation, and venues for meetings and catering. Location: Grande Rue, Arc-et-Senans. Google maps: .
