Motorhome area of Aigues-Mortes (Gard)

At the gateway to the Camargue, Aigues-Mortes is a medieval walled city founded in the 13th century by King Louis IX. Its well-preserved ramparts, impressive towers, and cobbled streets take you on a journey through time. The town center, with Place Saint-Louis, is lively and filled with artisan shops, art galleries, and charming cafés. Beyond the walls, the Camargue reveals its wild beauty: ponds, salt marshes, white horses, and pink flamingos. The “Salins du Midi” showcase vibrant colors, especially at sunset. Nature lovers can explore scenic trails by foot or bike, and birdwatchers will be thrilled by the region’s avian diversity. A few kilometers away, Le Grau-du-Roi offers fine sandy beaches. The Seaquarium is perfect for families with its marine life exhibits. For a more authentic experience, take a boat trip on the canals or visit a local “manade” to discover Camargue traditions.
