10In 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

Meanwhile, the surrounding lands and marshes
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.

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.
