             The salt was collected in the past
                by the sea and in the salted lakes.
                In the XIe century, the first
                salterns was creating.
                In the XIVe century,  was creating
                the gabelle (salt tax).
     

                Even if the gabelle (salt tax) has
                changed her name, after the
               French´s Revolution,
               she was definitively abolished only
               in 1946 (in France)!

               The salt has many uses well-known,
               but also less-known as:
               the manufacture of many products as
               the plastic, the chloride bleach,
               the pulp, and some fuels for
               the rockets.
