0179 Between BLUE and PURPLE , la Cité d' AIGUES - MORTES

South of France .

 

 

TOWERS and RAMPARTS of AIGUES - MORTES :

 

Built at the peak of Gothic architecture , the fortifications of Aigues - Mortes is a remarkably well preserved military stucture .

The ribbed vaults on the carved capitals , the gargoyles , the refined decor of the Tower of Constance , in contrast to the power of the defensive system of the curtains walls .

From the ramparts or from the dungeons ' terrace , you will discover a breath taking sight on the Camargue and the salt marshes whose colours alternate between blue and purple ...
