In the fifth century the Benedictine monks settled in the hostile environment of the marshes and ponds and founded an abbey.

Monks consecrated to the “Opus Dei” and hence incessant psalmodies, both day and night, led to the monastery being known as Psalmody or Psalmodi. The remains of the abbey are now private property and are not open to public visits.

In ancient times a Greek name of Aquae Mortuae, colony settled here and then the Romans in the because of the dead water in the first century took over the organization of salt surrounding marshes and ponds. production and sale.

In 1244, the architect Eudes de Montreuil drew up the first plans for the inland port and the town.

Despite the difficult weather and health conditions, the area was inhabited by a sparse population of fishermen and salt manufacturers, living in reed cabins.

The alluvial land of Aigues-Mortes has no stones – they were brought from the quarries in Beaucaire and Baux by water. The village was created from nothing on land with no organized planning. It was built between the second and third sandbanks, very close to the marshes of “La Marette” and the town.

For four years, the whole region was devoted to In the thirteenth century, Louis IX did not possess this immense project, the construction of a town any land bordering on the Mediterranean.

His wife Marguerite de and was linked to the sea by the Canal Viel (to Provence, and his two brothers Robert d’Artois the west of the town, nowadays dried up). and Charles d’Anjou were with him and all the Meanwhile, the surrounding lands and marshes great lords and barons of France joined them. belonged to the abbey of “Psalmody”. On the request of Louis IX, the Benedictines agreed to exchange the land of Aigues-Mortes for the vast arable fields belonging to the crown in the region of Sommières. Some time later Louis IX fell seriously ill. He was saved from death by a miracle and made a vow to go and deliver the tomb of Christ which the infidels had conquered. He decided that the crusade would be French and would sail from a French port. 11

Every year over the last weekend in August, Aigues-Mortes dresses itself up in its most attractive medieval guise and takes us back to the heart of the Middle Ages.

It was thanks to these privileges that the town of Louis IX remained inhabited after the decline of the port.

Aigues-Mortes is a military base, and from the heights of its ramparts, soldiers took turns to sound the alarm for danger from the Saracens, in the conflicts of the Hundred Years War and in the sixteenth century against attacks from Spain.

In 1481 the port of Marseille became part of the kingdom of France, and the alluvium of the Rhône, the sandbanks and clogging of the channels “grau” (leading to the sea) led to the fall of the port of Aigues-Mortes.

It was thanks to the clever initiative of citizen Jean Sol, appointed guard and distributor of fodder for the revolutionaries, that the famous altar piece decorating the chapel was saved. It is the masterwork of the sculptor Sabatier and dates from the seventeenth century.

Jean Sol hid the altar piece behind bales of hay, which inspired the revolutionaries to make it a store for their fodder.

In the early nineteenth century freedom of cult was re-established, churches were given back to the faithful and religious peace was assured.

Work on the Canal du Rhône to Sète Canal was finished in 1806, and Aigues-Mortes became a river port for the transport firstly of goods and then of passengers. The Mayor and the municipal officers of Aigues- Mortes were elected on 2 February 1790. In 1903, the ramparts were classified as a Historical Monument.

On Wednesday and Sunday mornings, head for outside of the ramparts, avenue Frédéric Mistral and the shaded aisles of the market - the perfect place to try local products from Camargue. From the moment you arrive, you will be caught up in the aromas and bright colours : bull meats, Aigues-Mortes fougasse, fresh fruit and vegetables...

… The market is the chance to buy something, to fill up your basket and prepare a hearty meal, and to take away gourmand or decora- tive gifts.

The market is also a place for encounters, where you can talk to locals who are proud of showing you their town and their region.
