A dive into the history of the Camargue

It's impossible to visit the Camargue without stopping in Aigues-Mortes. One of the most beautiful medieval towns in the south of France. Completely surrounded by 13th-century ramparts, the city offers a journey through time, with cobbled streets, lively squares, and exceptional heritage.

A walk on the ramparts is an essential experience. From the top of the fortifications, the panorama extends over the salt marshes, wetlands, and iconic landscapes of the Camargue. Along the way, discover the towers, fortified gates, and the history of this city founded by Saint Louis, once the departure port for the Crusades.

After your visit, take time to stroll through the streets of the historic center. You'll find numerous artisan boutiques, galleries, cafes, and restaurants where you can savor local specialties in a warm atmosphere.

An unmissable stop for lovers of history, heritage, and exceptional landscapes, just a few kilometers from the wild open spaces of the Camargue.
