The Grenier à Sel in Honfleur, located in the Calvados department of Normandy, is a historical site dating back to the 17th century. Originally built for storing salt for the gabelle tax, these two preserved granaries were essential for the fishing industry, particularly for cod fishing in Newfoundland. Today, they serve as communal halls for various events, including exhibitions and concerts. Visitors can explore the beautiful architecture and learn about its rich history. The site is accessible year-round, with no admission fee. Check local listings for specific event timings.
