Aigues Mortes, in the heart of the Camargue.
Old fortified city, Aigues-Mortes, city of Gard, displays a prestigious heritage in the middle of swamps in one of the most beautiful sites in Provence, the Camargue. A rough diamond in a case of impure jewels but that time has gradually polished to reveal the magnificence of their brilliance.
Established to the west of Petit Rhône, the medieval city was originally a small hamlet of fishermen and salt collectors, bathed in marshes with a malarial climate, up to the Mediterranean Sea. History has surrounded it with a 1640 m² rampart quadrilateral comprising six prestigious towers, including the famous Constance Tower, and ten doors housing an amazing religious heritage.
City marked by the imprint of crusades and Templars, it is today a tourist resort where it is good to walk there to penetrate its past, its bullfighting culture, its gastronomy, its wine and its environment.
The city of 'Dead Waters' still displays many other prides. For example its pretty little marina, connected to the sea by the Grau du Roi, and to Sète by the Rhône canal. It was built in the 13th century according to the plans of Louis IX who wanted to establish in the Mediterranean an opening on the East for his crusades.
To the south of the city, the vast flooded land is home to exceptional flora and fauna as well as the main economic resource of Aigues-Mortes: salt.
To have
- The ramparts, their doors and their towers. The names assigned to them are so suggestive that they speak volumes about the history of the city, making it easy to imagine how it was organized in the 13th century. Their construction began under Louis IX with the construction of the Constance Tower, infamous keep, on the remains of the Matafère Tower, work of Charlemagne.
- The Tour Carbonnière, in the middle of the marsh and not far from the town of Saint-Laurent d'Aigouze, represented the vanguard of the enclosure, to protect the city from any invasion by land. We can still visit it.
- The Gray Penitents and the White Penitents. These two religious brotherhoods from the Middle Ages marked their presence in Aigues-Mortes by the establishment of two chapels. The Chapel of the Gray Penitents is distinguished, in addition to its frame, by the stucco retacle by Jean Sabatier made in 1688. As for the Chapel of the White Penitents, it shelters a magnificent monumental fresco representing the Holy Spirit and painted at the beginning of the 19th century by Xavier Sigalon, but also the four works of the painter Auguste Glaise produced in 1846 and retracing the cycle of the life of the Virgin Mary.
- The Church of Notre Dame des Sablons, built in a single nave of Gothic style in the 13th century was extended to three naves in the 18th century. It is surely the oldest monument in Aigues-Mortes. A historic heritage that goes hand in hand with its contemporary stained glass windows made by the artist Viallat.
- The company of the salt workers of the Midi spreads out on the southern front of the enclosure its tables of salt, its crystallizers and its storage areas. During the summer, the City Tourist Office organizes tours.
- For nature lovers, the environment of Aigues-Mortes can be discovered on horseback, by boat, on foot and by 4x4.
