The church of Salonnes has a rich history dating back to the 8th century, when it was built to house the relics of Saint-Privat and Saint-Hilaire. After being destroyed during conflicts over the salt mines and later the Thirty Years' War, it was rebuilt in 1540 and again in 1750. The most striking element is the Gothic portal, which is the only original part from the 16th century to have been preserved. Made of Jaumont stone, it features an accolade arcade flanked by pinnacles. Three Gothic niches above the double doors recall the ornate style of the late Gothic period.

The parish church of Saint-Privat, which at first glance looks ugly because of the concrete that covers its walls, is full of treasures. Built in the 8th century, it has been remodeled over time but retains a magnificent, finely crafted Gothic portal. Its ornaments representing various animals and plants give it a unique appearance. If you go through Salonnes, stop at the church!

Vic-sur-Seille, which benefits from the label "Small cities of character", is an essential place of passage for itinerants who cross the region. If its old stones undeniably recall the history of the village, its leisure center invites you to rest and relax. The village has all the amenities, from accommodation to restaurants. Take the time to visit the museum which takes its name from Georges de La Tour, born in 1593 in Vic-sur-Seille. The exhibitions offer many indications on the region and its evolution.

Marsal is a small hamlet with a very salty history: from the Bronze Age until the middle of the 17th century, the village knew how to use its salt water sources to prosper in the salt trade. Today, nothing remains of the saltworks and Marsal today looks like a peaceful village. If you wish, you can organize a guided tour with the Pays du Saulnois Tourist Office on 03 87 01 16 26.
