Departing from Sète, your journey will take you to Aigues Mortes. This fortified city is located in the heart of the Petite Camargue. It was built in the 13th century and stands quite alone in a melancholy landscape of ponds, sea marshes, and saltpans. Aigues Mortes originally served as a departure harbor for the crusades of St Louis. Its Constance Tower is one of the most majestic pieces of architecture from medieval times, and served as a lookout post to fend off the Saracens.
Enjoy a guided walking tour which will cover the history of the town, then set out to explore at your leisure and stroll through the charming town on your own.
Re-board your motor coach for the return drive to Sète and your waiting vessel.
Please note: Wear comfortable walking shoes. Tour requires walking on cobblestones and uneven ground. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with mobility limitations
