Camargue/ Aigues Mortes

I do adore Camargue ,it's amazing ! If you come to Provence I highly recommend you to have a trip there . It's wild , and strange ....not easy to get as a tourist :you'll have to be open-minded . The first time I went to Aigues-Mortes it was with my son and we just had a tour : it's a very small city , closed by stone-walls , and I can imagine as it would appear in the Middle-Age coming from the country-side or the sea-side ,emerging from nothing ..... a fortress, with the tower of Constance on one side,emerging powerful.

Last year I went to Aigues -Mortes with my love and we discovered a wonderful place that's called 'Papy Moise' ,a sort of "bar à tapas' where the food is simply amazing . But it's not as simple to be accepted there , the first time we waited half an hour before to be served ....but we felt that it was a good place so we had patience and we were rewarded ! Fresh oysters , best quality butter and baguettes were served to us with cold white wine . Now we are friends so every time we go we are welcomed . That is what I love , people just taking care , not disposable to sell themselves just for money . I don't have photos of Papy Moise , but next month we are invited  the owner's birthday , I hope to take some snapshots !

Here's my son ....we were on the way to Aigues-Mortes , and he pretended to make auto-stop .

Still my son ...on the way to Aigues-Mortes
