The Salins pier in 1930

The Varangéville Saltworks had, on the Marne-Rhine canal, a salt loading dock (pier) in order to distribute salt using barges throughout the territories of Western and Southern Europe. North. Now gone, salt is now transported by rail or road freight.

The town of Varangéville is particularly proud of its miners and more broadly of its workers. The history of Varangéville is eternally linked to the destinies of these exceptional workers.
