Aigues-Mortes

France

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

Aigues Mortes is a nice fortified city, where it's possible to visit the ramparts, the walk through the village and the nearby Salt Works.

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.
