Aigues-Mortes is an extraordinary medieval city, founded by Saint Louis in the 13th century as a port of departure for the Crusades. Its 1.6 km rectangular ramparts, perfectly preserved with 20 towers and 10 gates, form France's most complete fortified enclosure. The Tour de Constance, a massive 30 m circular tower, served as a prison for the Templars and later for Protestant Camisard women (Marie Durand spent 38 years there, carving the word 'RÉSISTER' in stone). The Salins du Midi, vast salt marshes with pink waters (coloured by microscopic algae), produce Camargue salt and offer surreal landscapes where flamingos and white Camargue horse herds coexist. Aigues-Mortes is the gateway to the Gard Camargue, an exceptional wetland classified as a biosphere reserve. Taxis from Montpellier are used by medieval heritage tourists, Camargue nature lovers and La Grande-Motte holidaymakers.

Route

Route Montpellier → Aigues-Mortes

Your driver takes the D62 from Montpellier towards Le Grau-du-Roi, crossing the Petite Camargue. The landscape changes dramatically: vines give way to lagoons, marshes and reed beds where herons, flamingos and egrets can be spotted. You pass the Salins du Midi, vast evaporation basins with pink and mauve reflections. The Aigues-Mortes ramparts appear in the distance, rising from the marshes like a medieval mirage. The journey is entirely toll-free (no toll via the D62). Allow 30 min normally, 45 min in summer when beach traffic is heavy.

Tips & best practices

Specific tips for the Montpellier → Aigues-Mortes route

The rampart walk (€8, 1h30) is unmissable: views from the wall-walk embrace the Camargue, salt flats and the Mediterranean in the distance. The Tour de Constance (included in rampart ticket) is moving — look for Marie Durand's 'RÉSISTER' inscription. The salt flat tour by train (€11.50, 1h15) is fascinating. Flamingos are visible year-round. The fougasse d'Aigues-Mortes (brioche with candied fruit and orange blossom) is the local speciality to bring home.
