About
Climb the Saint Louis keep and survey the 1,640-meter ramparts that encircle the town of Aigues-Mortes, dominating the panorama of the Camargue and the salt marsh!
A 13th-century fortified enclosure built on the initiative of Louis IX.
The 1634-meter-long ramparts encircle the town, and are flanked by 10 gates and 6 towers. The Tour de Constance is one of the most majestic examples of medieval architecture. It is also infamous for having served as a prison for Protestant women from 1685 onwards.
Visit the permanent exhibitions on St. Louis & the Mediterranean, architecture, decor and Protestant history.
Accès : Intramuros
Accueil : Unique access at the foot of the Constance Tower, inside the ramparts.
Last entry to the ramparts 45 minutes before closing time.
