Some time later Louis IX fell seriously ill. He was
saved from death by a miracle and made a vow
to go and deliver the tomb of Christ which the

Aigues-Mortes is a military base, and from the
heights of its ramparts, soldiers took turns to
sound the alarm for danger from the Saracens, in
the conflicts of the Hundred Years War and in the
sixteenth century against attacks from Spain.
In 1481 the port of Marseille became part of the
kingdom of France, and the alluvium of the
Rhône, the sandbanks and clogging of the
channels “grau” (leading to the sea) led to the fall
