Aigues-Mortes feels almost unreal the first time you see it. But this is not a reconstruction or a movie set. It is a fully fortified medieval town built in the 13th century, with walls that still wrap tightly around it today.

The ramparts stretch for about 1,640 meters, and you can walk most of them. From up there, you see exactly why this place feels so different. On one side, a grid of narrow streets and stone buildings. On the other, wide open salt marshes that shift color depending on the season.

It also sits right at the edge of the Camargue, between Nîmes and Montpellier, which explains that mix of dry stone, water, and flat land. In summer, the nearby salt pans turn pink because of algae and microorganisms, and it almost doesn’t look real from a distance.

One thing people don’t expect is how exposed it feels on the walls. There is very little shade, and it can get hot fast, so going early or later in the day makes a big difference. Would you walk the full loop, or just take it in from below?
