The Franche-Comté salt basin is a geological formation that developed during the Late Triassic on the northwestern flank of the Jura Mountains. It stretches diagonally across the Franche-Comté region, from southeastern Haute-Saône to the central Jura (department), Jura department. The salt deposits are primarily located in the Jura and Doubs departments, with exploitation dating from Ancient history, Antiquity to the 21st century. In Haute-Saône, extraction occurred from the 12th to the 20th centuries, where the salt basin coexists with the Keuper coal basin of Haute-Saône, which provided coal for evaporating brine, reducing production costs for mining companies. Since the 19th century, this activity has been linked to the chemical industry.
