    Tips

    February 22, 2023

    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).

      Beautiful walled old town with a rich history.

      Worth a visit.

        The atmosphere within the fortified city is special, especially when you walk through the alleys and come across the wall again and again. Despite the tourist orientation, there are also some nice restaurants here.
