The Tour Carbonnière is an old medieval watchtower located in the heart of the Camargue marshes. Built in the 13th century to control access to Aigues-Mortes, it served as a mandatory passage and a surveillance post. Today, it offers a remarkable viewpoint over the surrounding landscapes.

It is often crowded on weekends, public holidays and vacation periods. If you want to go up to admire the view, it is better to avoid these periods.
