Aigues-Mortes, France


There is something incredibly captivating about the way that autumn light filters through French villages, filling the crisp air with long shadows and speckled sunshine. Despite its name, Aigues-Mortes (dead waters) is no exception. This fortified town in the Petite Camargue in the south of France was once the port from where the seventh and eighth crusades were launched. I had the privilege of savouring oysters, bull steak (a speciality of the Camargue) and crème brulee at a little bistro just off the main square.
