The Powder Tower in Aigues-Mortes is part of the stunning medieval fortifications that envelope this historic town. Built in the 13th century under King Louis IX, the tower once stored gunpowder, giving it its name. Today, it provides a prime vantage point for capturing panoramic shots of the saline marshlands and iconic pink salt ponds of the Camargue region. The tower's weathered stone and fortified walls lend a dramatic backdrop for architectural photography, particularly striking during sunset when the play of light enhances its ancient textures. Nearby, the Saint-Louis Square and Gothic-style Church of Notre-Dame-des-Sablons offer additional charming photo opportunities. Remember, the best lighting is often found early morning or late afternoon.
