Towers and ramparts of Aigues-Mortes
The Towers and Ramparts of Aigues-Mortes plunge us back into the region's medieval history. The almost intact fortifications offer a breathtaking view of the city and its surroundings. A stroll along the "chemin de ronde" offers breathtaking views of the salt works, the canal and the Camargue. The fascinating history of the ramparts and the town is explained on panels and in the museum area. A must-see for all curious history buffs.
