[Aigues-Mortes: Topographic Views, General view of the south defense wall]
Creators
Scott Gilchrist (Canadian photographer, born 1960)
Description
Aigues-Mortes is a town in Gard, southern France, in the north-western section of the Rhône Delta or Camargue. It is one of the largest surviving medieval fortified towns. Louis IX (reigned 1226-1270) conceived of the walled city. He wanted a port to establish a royal presence in, and access to, the Mediterranean, and he needed a fortified town to protect crusaders, pilgrims and merchants, providing a safe haven from which to launch crusades, as well as a commercial centre for trade between the Levant and northern France. Soon after 1240 Louis IX began the construction of the Tour de Constance, the isolated tower on the north-western corner of the site; it was finished in 1249, the year after he launched the Seventh Crusade. Construction of the walled town did not, however, begin until 1272 during the reign of Louis's son Philip III (reigned 1270-1285), and work continued into the early years of the 14th century. Notre-Dame-des-Sablons, erected in the mid-13th century, is a handsome if simple unvaulted structure of nave and two aisles with a flat east end. It was restored between 1964 and 1967.

[Town of Blois: Topographic Views, General view, looking west over the Loire River, with the stone bridge on the left and the Cathedral St-Louis at the upper right (erected during the reign of Louis XIV)]

Scott Gilchrist (Canadian photographer, born 1960)
Description
Blois is the capital of the Loir-et-Cher dèpartement, on the Loire River, northeast of Tours. It was first mentioned in the 6th century by Gregory of Tours. Joan of Arc set out from Blois in 1429 to raise the siege of Orléans. Blois was one of the pilgrimage sites on route to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, home of the shrine dedicated to Saint James, the patron saint of Spain. The symbol of Saint James, the scalloped shell, became the primary symbol representing pilgrims. French pilgrimage routes to Compostela tend to follow old Roman roads, many of which continued to be utilized as primary roads of communication during the Middle Ages. Located in Blois is the château, which began as a feudal castle; it displays splendid work of all the architectural periods from the 13th to the 17th century. Many of the ancient buildings between the château and the river were destroyed in World War II; some have been rebuilt. The town has many Gothic and Renaissance buildings. It is one of the major tourist centers of the Loire Valley. Bloise produces corn (maize), asparagus, and wine in the surrounding countryside. The industry decentralization in the Paris region has promoted recent growth in Blois.
