Places to see in ( Aigues Mortes - France ) Tour Carbonniere
The Carbonnière tower is a watchtower built at the end of the xiii th century to protect the walled city of Aigues-Mortes , in the French department of Gard in the region Occitan. The tower is located on the territory of the municipality of Saint-Laurent-d'Aigouze , in the Gard department and the Languedoc-Roussillon region .
It stands in the middle of marshes, between the Vistre and the Rhone canal at Sète , on the old road linking Saint-Laurent-d'Aigouze to Aigues-Mortes. Its terrace offers a panoramic view of the Petite Camargue. The Carbonnière Tower is mentioned for the first time in a text dated 1346 which gives details of the function of the work: it says that this fortress is the key to the kingdom in this country.
Indeed, located in the middle of marshes, it was the obligatory passage to access Aigues-Mortes: its crossing was the subject of a toll . It was held by a garrison composed of a chatelain and several guards. The terrace could support up to four pieces of artillery. It has been classified as a historical monument since 1889
Rectangular plan, the tower is built in ashlars to boss (ashlars with protruding central portion and accented joints), just like the walls of Aigues-Mortes. At mid-height, the tower has a row of more regular bossed stones with a darker color. Certain cut stones have marks of stonemason similar to those which one finds on the ramparts of Aigues-Mortes.
The road once passed through the tower, through a doorway defended by a portcullis and surmounted by a low arch. The base and the summit of the southern and northern facades is pierced by two great loopholes . The parapet of the platform that surmounts the tower has a single niche on each side and a watchtower at each corner.
At the end of 2009 , the Carbonnière tower was the subject of work aimed at ensuring the safety of the public, especially on the staircase and the terrace. A discovery trail has also been created in the surrounding marsh. These developments were carried out by the Center des monuments nationaux , the DRAC of the Languedoc-Roussillon region and the Joint Union for the protection and management of the Gard Camargue , as part of Operation Grand Site in Little Camargue.

Places to see in ( Argeles sur Mer - France )
Places to see in ( Argeles sur Mer - France )
Argelès-sur-Mer is a town on France’s Mediterranean coast. It’s known for the long Argelès Beach with its seafront promenade. In the Catalan-style old town, 14th-century Notre-Dame del Prat Church has views from its bell tower. Valmy Park to the south includes trails, a 19th-century castle and the Aigles de Valmy bird zoo. To the north, Mas Larrieu Natural Reserve is home to herons, gulls and bee-eaters.
Argeles-sur-Mer is a town and seaside resort on the Mediterranean coast of France, near the border with Spain and on the section of coast known as the Cote Vermeille. It is in an attractive setting with the low hills of the eastern Pyrenees and the massif des Albères behind the beach and Mount Canigou visible beyond.
Argeles-sur-Mer is a popular and pleasant resort on the Languedoc coast, mostly visited for the activities along the coast and beach. The sandy beach is almost seven kilometres long, and interspersed with rocky pools and has been awarded the Blue Flag award for its cleanliness and facilities. It is the most important resort on this stretch of the coast.
A short distance inland from the Mediterranean, Argeles is a pleasant town in the Catalan style with some interesting narrow streets to explore in the remaining part of the historic village. Most of the original ramparts have now disappeared though on Rue du 14 Juillet you can see the Jalabert tower and various other sections can be seen as you wander the streets.
You can ascend the belltower in the Church of Notre-Dame-del-Prat for views across the region. This belltower is 34m high and as well as a belltower it served as a lookout post and signal station.
Particular highlights close by include the pretty little Chapel of Saint-Jerome d'Argeles and the Hermitage of Saint-Ferreol-de-la-Pave: both of these are very old 10th century chapels in the roman style. Church enthusiasts will also want to visit the Church of Saint-Laurent-du-Mont a little way south of the town which is a beautifully preserved 12th century roman style church.
Argeles also has a pleasant tree lined port whose edges are lined with restaurants. It is a very pleasant spot to sit outside at one of the many restaurants and eat dinner overlooking the harbour. You can also stroll along the seafront to the attractive coastal hamlet of Le Racou.
Starting from Argeles you can walk the coastal path from the nature reserve of Mas Larrieu. The walk takes you past many coves as well as the pretty beach and hamlet of Le Racou near the Port.
Another popular trip from Argeles is to Valmy to see the lovely views and and the eagles soaring overhead. There is also a 19th century 'chateau' at Valmy which is interesting to architects because it was one of the earliest buildings constructed with reinforced concrete, although you might not guess just by looking at it, it is now a chambre d'hote.
En route for Valmy you can visit the defensive Massane tower which was built in the 13th century on a rocky peak, while the sturdy square tower that is all that remains of the 12th century Chateau de Pujol is a little way north of the town.
Argeles is just a few kilometers from Collioure, a very attractive port and beach with a castle and lively old town. A trip north to explore Perpignan is also enjoyable, then a little further you can explore the Pyrenees foothills along the Têt Valley or take a trip to one of the cathar castles such as Château Peyrepertuse. See more of the popular beaches and resorts in Languedoc.
