Tower of Constance

Highlight • Historical Site

The “Tour de Constance” served mainly as a prison for Protestants during the Huguenot Wars. Today it is one of the symbols of the city.

Towers and Ramparts of Aigues-Mortes

Highlight • Historical Site

The ramparts of Aigues-Mortes are a masonry fence that protects the city center of Aigues-Mortes. Built between 1272 and 1300 near the Tour de Constance, the ramparts extend over a length of 1,600 meters. They were built according to the wishes of Louis IX.
They are particularly notable for their good condition. Together with the Tower of Constance, they form an exceptional testimony in Western Europe of military architecture in a swampy environment in the 13th and 14th centuries.
The ramparts, castle and tower of Constance have been classified as a historic monument since December 1, 1903.
Here is also the entrance to take a walk on the city walls (paying).

Old church in the heart of the city with newfangled windows that don't really match the rest of the building. Pity...

Aigues-Mortes — fortified town

Highlight • Historical Site

Aigues-Mortes is a magnificent fortified city built in the 13th century by Louis IX (Saint Louis) who wanted to have a port on the Mediterranean without going through the Italian cities, especially for the crusades.
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).
