Aigues Mortes

The name of this city means "Dead Waters"and King Louis built it in the middle ages. Some of the crusades left from here. One tower is named La Tour de Constance,  after his daughter. It was used as a prison for the protestant women. One girl, Marie Durand, was arrested on her wedding day and spent 40 years there. We took a tour of the tower and the students thought about what they were willing to suffer for their faith.
