One of the dominant features of the ancient, walled Aigues Mortes is the 13th-century Tour de Constance. It can be seen from miles around and has a complicated history, serving as a lighthouse among other things.

As we drive through the area NE of Aigues Mortes, we pass through acres of vineyards, wineries, and a couple of appellations (regions of origin for wine). Lately, we have been enjoying Domaine Montcalm rose as well as Gallician rose.
