The main attraction of Aigues-Mortes is the completely preserved city wall with the Tour de Constance. This and other towers of the city wall served as a prison for Protestants at the time of the Huguenot Wars. Abraham Mazel, the head of the Protestant resistance movement (Camisards), managed to escape from the Tour de Constance in 1705. Marie Durand, who became known for her long prison sentence, was imprisoned here for 38 years, from 1730 to 1768, because she did not renounce her Protestant faith. In the Middle Ages, Aigues-Mortes was located in the middle of a marshland. The only access to the city from the land side was through the Tour Carbonnière, the coal tower, the oldest surviving mention of which dates from 1346. The tower is 3.2 km north-northeast of the bastide in the municipality of Saint-Laurent-d’Aigouze.

A majestic gateway to history. The Porte Saint-Antoine, flanked by its two imposing towers, offers one of the most beautiful views of the Aigues-Mortes ramparts. It once served as the main gateway to the city and still retains all its medieval majesty today.

Stepping through it, you immediately feel the soul of this fortified city. It's a must-see for any visit, whether strolling through the historic streets or embarking on a tour of the ramparts. It's also close to numerous restaurants and shops, making it a very lively area.
