Aigues Mortes

The State Flag of the Principality of Aigues Mortes

Adopted: (Unknown/ Presumably 21 June 2011)

Meaning of Flag Explained: The Flag of the Aigues Mortes is made up of a white and a Blue half with The "Camargue Cross" (drawn by the Marquis de Baroncelli) in the white, right side.

The blue serves to remind that the City of Aigues-Mortes was created by King Saint-Louis (Louis IX of France), and that it was intended to be a port. White symbolizes peace, light, but also salt (which was the main resource of the City of Aigues-Mortes in the past). The Camargue Cross recalls the Camaguese roots of the Principality. This symbol has certain values: "Faith for The Cross, charity for the heart and hope for The Cross" ("Foi pour La Croix, charité pour le cœur et espérance pour La Croix").
