history
In 924 Sallèles appears for the first time in a written source. The settlement of the area goes back much further, as the archaeological site Amphoralis north of the core town shows. The site, which is covered today and opened as a museum in 1992, shows pottery from Gallo-Roman times based on the rich clay deposits in the area. The pottery tradition lasted for a very long time in Sallèles, whose location near the Aude and the later opened waterways Canal du Midi, Canal de Jonction and Canal de la Robine have good transport and trading opportunities for the clay products (amphorae, bricks, tiles, clay pipes), but also bid for wine. Sallèles-d'Aude reached the peak of economic development in the 19th century, when numerous boatmen, lock keepers, craftsmen for repairing inland waterways, fishermen and winegrowers went about their work in the village.
