Aigues Morts is an ancient town, on the flat coastal plain of the Camargue and as you can see from the this pic, it was constructed in a grid pattern. Two sides of the rectangle are almost a kilometre long and defensively, there is an uninterrupted view in all directions.
The Mediterranean Sea lies to the south and a canal to the north. Apart from the numerous narrow streets and alleyways, the town is famous for the sea- salt which is produced locally and exported around the world.
This was our view from Delfin.
