Visiting Aigues-Mortes

Aigues-Mortes is a really neat fortification used by the crusaders. It used to be a very important port for France. In French, it means "Dead Water."



The ramparts of Aigues-Mortes


There were lots of sweet shops in Aigues-Mortes. At La Cure Gourmande you can go and fill a paper bag with all sorts of different little cakes, yum!

Another view of the ramparts


Beautiful, old streets


A nice church that we visited


The inside of the church, very ornate! The swirly columns reminded me of Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome.


It's a bit hard to see, but that white mound in the distance is a mountain of salt that has been extracted from the sea. I thought that was pretty cool!
