Parc de la Saline (Park Saline) is located on the largest artificial harbour in the world. It provides a two-kilometre promenade by the sea, which can be enjoyed by the visitors on foot or bike, as desired. The epic story of Site’s 150 years of translation can be enjoyed in words and images, on the enamelled lava here.
