Aigues-Mortes is located in the Petite Camargue some 90 km northwest of Marseille. The commune is composed of a portion of the wet plains and lakes of the Petite Camargue. It is separated from the Mediterranean by the town of Le Grau-du-Roi, however Aigues-Mortes is connected to the sea through the Canal du Rhône à Sète. The Roman general Gaius Marius is said to have founded Aigues-Mortes around 102 BC, but there is no documentary evidence to support this. The name ""Aigues-Mortes"" was attested in 1248 in the Latinized form Aquae Mortuae, which means ""dead water"". The medieval city walls surrounding the city are well preserved.
