Overview

  • Aigues-Mortes attracts visitors every year convinced of knowing its history: Saint Louis who died of the plague, the sea at the foot of the ramparts, the Templars locked in the Tour de Constance. None of these three statements is correct. This visit goes against the conventional tours: rather than listing dates, it dismantles preconceived notions one by one to reveal a history often more surprising than the legend. The guide is a contributor who has been in the city for more than twenty years, who has dedicated two books to it. The route takes the inner-city alleys and runs along the base of the ramparts; it does not include the climb on the battlement path or the interior of the Tour de Constance, which are visited separately.
    A visit that dismantles preconceived notions.
    A contributor guide of two books on the city.
    A lively and accessible tone.
    A small group of 12 people maximum.

Activity itinerary

Place Saint Louis

It is the Check-out point (and return point) of our visit. And in front of the statue of Saint Louis, we will discover together the first misconceptions about Aigues-Mortes.

Towers and Ramparts of Aigues-Mortes

  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included
From the outside, at the foot of the ramparts, you will discover the legends surrounding Aigues-Mortes as well as the entire history of the construction of these ramparts that Saint Louis never knew!

Tour de Constance

  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included
At the foot of the Tower of Constance, we will look at its history (was there a tower before this one in this place?), its prisoners (the real ones, and the fake ones too) and its characteristics.

Porte de la Gardette

We will trace here the trace of the old Levis bridge of this main entrance to the city.

Aigues-Mortes

  • 20m
In the alleys of the medieval city, and also outside the ramparts, we will discover together that everything we think we know about the city is not necessarily true... Even if these legends are repeated from generation to generation!
