Aigues-Mortes is a magnificent fortified city built in the 13th century by Louis IX who wanted to have a port on the Mediterranean without passing through Italian cities, particularly for the Crusades. Before this fortification and the creation of a large port, the town was mainly a village of fishermen and salt workers, the surrounding marshes and ponds having been exploited since the Neolithic period. The name of the city comes from these marshes or “Dead Waters” (nowadays magnificent and rich in biodiversity, like the whole Camargue, but at the time rather synonymous with diseases).
