Additionally, you'll be provided with access to the HistoPad, an augmented reality that will plunge you into the heart of the 18th-century saltworks. You'll also get to tour around the permanent exhibition and the museum of the architect Claude-Nicolas Ledoux, where you can see his other models and projects.
