Ramparts of Aigues-Mortes
Highlight • Castle
Before this fortification and the creation of a large port, the city was above all a village of fishermen and salt workers, the surrounding marshes and ponds being exploited since the Neolithic period. The name of the city comes from these marshes or “Eaux Mortes” (nowadays magnificent and rich in biodiversity, like all of the Camargue, but at the time rather synonymous with disease).

Aigues-Mortes City Gate
Highlight • Historical Site
It is renowned for its ramparts and arenas, called the Plan des Théâtres and intended for Camargue races, and is also infamous following the massacre of the Italians which took place in August 1893.

Aigues-Mortes
Highlight • Settlement
In the 17th century its port was the most powerful on the Mediterranean coast. Born from the desire of Louis IX to develop maritime trade, the city displays medieval architecture which was once intended to protect the Kingdom of France from invaders from the East.
Discover the Constance Tower, visit the Notre-Dame-des-Sablons church, stroll around Place Saint-Louis or even explore the chapel of the brotherhood of the Gray Penitents. Above all, don’t forget to taste the local fougasse. I recommend the one from Poitavin Frères which will delight your taste buds!
