Nothing significant to add than a great medieval city, tourism
In a nutshell
City of Saint Louis
Take a Walk . . . always take a walk
Beausoleil Says: Aigues Mortes, within the ramparts, is a fairly small area. You park right outside the ramparts (free) and walk through one of the large fortress gates. Just follow the street through town. You can take any of the cross streets or stay in the downtown area where there are...
KShezz Says: This is mini golf on a GRAND scale! there are 3 courses of 18 holes each and each and every hole is different ...the scale of this place is grand and the sheer beauty of the gardens and the scenery is stunning..one of the courses (white) is also suitable for people with...
KShezz Says: As we are divers we love anything to do with under the sea and so a trip to the nearby aquarium was always on the cards..plus a toursity thing like this gives ample opportunity to purchase tat for presents for the kids and the almost obligatory fridge magnet..for people with...
vinc_bilb Says: The main attraction is the city ittself: Enjoy a medieval immersion and stroll in the old city. Spending one half day here is a good idea, it's pleasant for the eyes, hsitory, monuments and old military architecture.As this city is well known for tourism, the infrastructure...
On The Terrace of the Tower of Constance
hquittner Says: The best views in Aigues-Morte are from terrace of the Tour Constance. From here one can look in every direction with different views in each direction.
hquittner Says: The Tower of Constance is a dense keep (90 feet high and 60 feet wide) consisting of two large rooms, one above the other. Each has a vaulted ceiling and large fireplaces. In the walls are dungeons and stairs. One set of stairs leads higher onto a flat terrace from which a...
hquittner Says: The walls of Aigues-Mortes still encircle the largest part of the city and although the port has sited up long ago, it still has access to the sea. The salt flats still stretch out along the shore are a strong industry and further inland there are large vine yards. We...
kenningst Says: This may sound strange but Aigues Mortes is sort of like a fortress town which dates back centuries ago. A nice walk along the walls and you will literally be circling the town itself. You get to see nice views of the town along here.
vinc_bilb Says: The square Saint Louis, the church Notre Dame des Sablons (XIII century): Saint Louis is everywhere. He was the key fundation of this city.Louis IX chose Aigues-MortesIn 1245, Pope Innocent IV called upon the European sovereigns to lead a crusade to take back Jerusalem and...
One hour inside the city is enough
Anjutka Says: After having seen and maybe climbed the walls one can spend a little time to see what is in the city. It is not very much indeed so Aigues Mortes seems to be slightly over-rated.
Anjutka Says: The city walls are the one and only reason to visit this city and it seems to be an absolute must for every visitor of the Camargue.

Restaurant des Voyageurs: Perfectly cooked (or not as the case may be) steak
KShezz Says: This is a local restaurant run by local people with a real flair for the food of the region and a well renowned place to eat steak and chips....so we did!The decor is traditional and the service warm and friendly ( and multi lingual too!)Let me start by explaining that I am...
La Villa Sushi Bar and Lounge: Sushi review of course!
KShezz Says: This was a newly opened restaurant when we visited and most of the thought had been put into the 'lounging 'part as the seats were a bit odd to sit on the front of to eat and the tables just slightly too low to eat from comfortably, this can be rectified by making more...
vinc_bilb Says: Most of the restaurants are located around Saint Louis square. There are the usual 1st place for tourists. But, just 100m from here, have a look in the adjacent streets where you could have the same quality for a lower price. Local food

This is a local bar right next to the Sushi place I also mentioned and its JAM PACKED with stock...what you want he has got I'm sure....might take a while to find it but ts there...on the shelves on the walls..on the stairs...in the hayloft...
Hving a stock of 400 beers and 500 whiskeys ,300 wines and much more must
be exhausting but the manager was freindly and fun and semed to be having a good time himself setting out the out door tables and singing...I bet when this place fills up that everyone has a grand night out.

When it is the running of the bulls and the bulls are about to come through firstly you will have heard safety announcements over and over in 5 languages and then just before the first riders arrive you will hear a loud explosion like a depth charge and then you MUST get back behind the safety barriers!
please note!
NO bulls are EVER harmed during this bullrunning ,,it is simply a chance for the riders to show off thier skills and for the young bulls to attract the eye of farmers wanting to buy or looking for studs.
from what I saw the young lads might be looking for sume studding jobs too! LOL

Favorite thing: Main attraction is the city itself:
a great medieval city walls, rebuilt by Louis IX of France (Saint Louis) in the 13th century as France's only Mediterranean port at that time.
It was the embarkation point of the Seventh Crusade (1248) and the Eighth Crusade (1270). The town is actually several miles inland and the port.
Fondest memory: City is deeply linked with French history and king Saint Louis
