Did Saint Louis die of the plague?
Did the sea reach the foot of the ramparts?
Were the Templars imprisoned in the Tour de Constance?
What if all of this was false... or almost?
Welcome to “Tout est faux!” (“Everything is false!”), a guided visit of Aigues-Mortes unlike any other.
Here, we don't recite dates: we deconstruct preconceived ideas, one by one, to reveal the true history of the city — often much more surprising than the legend.
Your live guide
Dimitri Moulins is the author of two books on the secrets of Aigues-Mortes. Having lived in the city for more than twenty years, he knows its stones, myths, and hidden truths. With him, history comes alive, becomes accessible, and is full of humor.
️The itinerary
For 1 hour, you'll set off from Place Saint-Louis to explore the town's narrow streets and walk along the ramparts.
At each stop, a popular misconception is confronted with historical reality:
the city's foundation, the death of Saint Louis, the Templars, the salt pans, the relationship with the sea...
You'll never see Aigues-Mortes the same way again.
Whether you are discovering the city for the first time or think you already know everything, you will leave with a fresh perspective—and amazing stories to tell.
✅ Ideal for: the curious, history buffs, and families who want to get off the beaten track
Please note: the tour is conducted in French, on foot, and outdoors (in the streets of the city and around the ramparts). Starting point: Place Saint-Louis. Drop-off: Place Saint-Louis. Children under 6 years old travel free of charge.
