Holiday Rentals in Aigues Mortes - A Guide to Aigues Mortes
Holiday rentals in Aigues Mortes lie just inland from the Grau du Roi only 25 mins drive from Montpellier. Aigues Mortes is a wonderful medieval walled town adjacent to a canal and as such Aigues Mortes holiday rentals are a good base from which to explore the Gard department of France.
The old town itself has a pretty central square with fountain surrounded by a handful of bars and restaurants. It’s not a big place so relatively easy to meet up with friends and a good place to have a lazy lunch followed by a wander round it’s cobbled streets. Here you will find small boutique type shops selling arts and crafts articles ideal to take home to loved ones.
