Aigues-Mortes,
la Tour Constance
En
faisant construire Aigues-Mortes en 1240, Louis IX devint le premier
roi de France disposant d'un port sur la Méditerranée.
La tour Constance, bâtie vers 1242-48, est isolée,
à l'angle nord-ouest de la ville. Saint Louis envisageait d'en
faire l'unique défense d'Aigues-Mortes.

Aigues-Mortes,
the Constance Tower
In
deciding to build Aigues-Mortes in 1240, Louis IX became the first
French King to have use of a port with access to Mediterranean Sea.
The Constance Tower, constructed around 1242-48, is located at the
northwest corner of the town and was completely separated from the
wall. Saint Louis intended that the tower be the sole defense of
Aigues-Mortes.
