Aigues-Mortes

Aigues-Mortes is a town in the Languedoc-Roussillon region in southwest France, with well preserved medieval city walls surrounding a historical centre.

South of Nimes

The historical centre is all contained within a compact area of the city walls, easily explored on foot.

Walk around the ramparts of the medieval city walls, and see inside the various towers, including the Constance Tower. This costs money. The ticket office, located in the North West corner, offers audio guides, but is closed at lunchtime.

Lots of shops selling tourist nick-nacks

There are many pleasant cafes and restaurants within the city walls, particularly around the central square.

• A complete walled town in a stunning position within the flat Carmargue. Parking is difficult so park welll outside the walls and walk in. A good place to visit in the evening when the walls are illuminated. • Andy G.
