Aigues-Mortes, in Occitan Aigas Mòrtas, is a French commune in Petite Camargue, located at the southern tip of the Gard department, in the Occitanie region.

It is renowned for its ramparts and arenas, called the Plan des Théâtres and intended for Camargue races, and is also infamous following the massacre of the Italians which took place in August 1893.

Three things about Aigues mortes
1. Old crusader town with history
2. Simply beautiful French flair especially out of season
3. The incredibly beautiful, old, two-story carousel in front of the main gate

Towers and ramparts of Aigues-Mortes

Highlight • Castle

Aigues, also spelled Aix or Egue, means water in Latin. The town of Aigues-Mortes is very close to the Camargue Regional Natural Park, known in particular for its numerous brackish marshes (a mixture of seawater and freshwater). The town is now a popular tourist destination. You can visit the interior of the magnificent fortified walls. In the Middle Ages, many canals led directly from the town to the Mediterranean Sea, making Aigues-Mortes an important port. It was from here that, following a vow, Saint Louis, King of France, decided to recapture the tomb of Christ from the Infidels and launched the First Crusade. He embarked from Aigues-Mortes on August 25, 1248. A statue in the town center is dedicated to him.
