Conference “A pinch of salt”
Vallabrègues
Presentation
New for 2026, the Heritage Education Service of the Beaucaire Terre d'Argence Community of Municipalities is offering a free conference for enthusiasts of heritage and local history.
Description
Entitled “A pinch of salt, a history of white gold from yesterday to today,” this conference invites the public to (re)discover a product as discreet as it is essential: salt. Always present in everyday life, it has shaped trade, influenced preservation methods, accompanied culinary practices, and played a major role in the development of societies and territories.
Throughout the presentation, salt will be explored in all its facets: its history through the centuries, its many uses, but also the expressions, proverbs, and sayings that testify to its importance in our culture and language. From antiquity to the present day, this conference offers a historical, cultural, and symbolic look at this “white gold” that is inseparable from human life.
An event accessible to all, ideal for the curious, lovers of local history, and those who wish to take a fresh look at an everyday element with deep roots.
“Without salt, one cannot lead a civilized life.”
Pliny the Elder, Natural History
