The soft mobility

On foot : take your time to discover the town

Aigues-Mortes is best explored on foot. The ramparts, narrow streets, church and chapels invite you to stroll around, take your time and discover the town’s rich heritage and unique atmosphere. Along the way, you will find numerous restaurants, craft shops, souvenir shops and art galleries.

As the historic centre is mainly pedestrianised, we recommend parking in the car parks outside the ramparts, then walking into the town in just a few minutes. This is the ideal way to begin your visit and explore the medieval city peacefully, without worrying about traffic.

Please note : allow around 2 km on foot from the town centre to reach the Saltworks or the Maison du Grand Site de France de la Camargue Gardoise, and 1,640 metres to walk along the ramparts.

By bike : the ideal way to explore the Camargue

The surroundings of Aigues-Mortes are particularly well suited to cycling thanks to their flat terrain, cycle paths and signposted routes.

Aigues-Mortes is crossed by several major cycling routes :

• La ViaRhôna

• La Vélo Sud

A few ideas for bike rides from the ViaRhôna :

1. Le Grau-du-Roi (6 km) : keep your eyes open along the way! You may spot flamingos from a distance and the salt mounds of the Salin d’Aigues-Mortes.
2. La Tour Carbonnière (4.5 km) : you can climb to the top of the tower and enjoy a remarkable panoramic view over the vast preserved natural areas.
3. Gallician (13 km) : from Gallician, you can reach Vauvert or continue along the ViaRhôna towards Saint-Gilles, Beaucaire or Tarascon, extending your ride along the waterways.
