Aigues-Morte, very close to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer is a city marked by crusades and the Knights Templar. It is a tourist site today but with an intriguing history and it’s a wonderful place to relax and chill enjoying the French lifestyle.
In December the Cathar Castles and heritage sites are open and many appreciate that there are no crowds of tourists. The weather is generally sunny but cold, around 10 degrees. And, if you’re a wine lover now is a good time to visit as vignerons have a lot more time to spend with wine enthusiasts.
Carcassonne, the perfect winter destination
