Visite de Salies en Petit Train Touristique

Salies-de-Béarn owes its fame to the salt that has influenced the course of its history: its birth is attributed to a wild boar, discovered near a spring, its bristles covered in salt crystals. Since then, the town has watched over its treasure: a source of salt water. The oldest, like a snail's shell, wraps itself around the salt spring. Here you'll find typical 17th- and 18th-century houses, narrow flower-filled streets and, at a bend in one of them, the Musée du Sel et des traditions béarnaises (Museum of Salt and Béarn Traditions). Just a few steps away, the spa district, with its old hotels and palaces from the Belle Epoque, rubs shoulders with the Moorish-style spa.
The little tourist train takes you on a journey back in time through the town's different districts (30-40 minute ride).
