AN EXCEPTIONAL PLACE
At the heart of the walls
AIGUES-MORTES

The ramparts of Aigues-Mortes were built by Saint Louis . Indeed, from the beginning of his reign Louis IX wanted to have an outlet to the Mediterranean; it was in this context that he had the port of Aigues-Mortes built.
Wild and authentic, the Petite Camargue is the antithesis of the Riviera, with its deserted beaches, vast expanses populated by free-roaming horses, and rich historical heritage. In the heart of a fortified town dating back to the 12th century, discover the hidden charms of this region of southern France and find a haven of peace.
In the town of Aigues-Mortes, explore the magic of its medieval streets and savor the typical flavors of regional cuisine. Just fifteen minutes away, you'll succumb to the wild charm of Espiguette beach. Exploring the surrounding region, you can reach splendid, historically rich cities like Avignon, Arles, Orange, Nîmes, Uzès, Montpellier, and Aix-en-Provence in under an hour.
An ancestral building
In 1538, the building was already there to welcome guests during the meeting of Charles V and Francis I. It has survived the centuries.
In 1730, it was the painter Etienne Théaulon who lived there ("The head of the old woman" Louvre Museum).
