I had the pleasure one day last week of lunching in the French town of Aigues Mortes, and I have put some photos of this interesting place in the Limbo album.
Oh no – it’s the dreaded holiday snaps !!
Ah yes, but these are holiday snaps from the future site of Castle Brass, HQ of Dorian Hawkmoon and Count Brass in their heroic struggles against the Dark Empire, as featured in the Runestaff and Castle Brass series.
Of course, readers can google Aigues Mortes (this site has some good pics, if rather small -- http://www.casteland.com/puk/castle/...guesmor/am.htm) but a few more (bigger) pictures of the ramparts of this amazingly well preserved medieval town may yet be welcomed by the discerning Hawkmoon fan... he burbled.
So my modest offerings can be found here and on the following page:

What I don’t have is the classic aerial shot, which can be found online, showing the complete rectangular wall around the town. Very impressive and worth a visit.
I also saw plenty of handsome white horses, the famous flamingos, and glimpsed en passant some big black cattle/bulls in a field. After Hawkmoon and co, these are of course the best known inhabitants of the Camargue / Kamarg.
