GOOD TO KNOW :
As far back as Roman times, the salt roads enabled salt to be transported from the Mediterranean coast to the mountain regions where there was none. These trade routes played a strategic role, as salt was also a currency of exchange. Indispensable for food preservation and tanneries, salt was a key factor in the development of regions such as Rouergue.
