What do you consider your hometown? Why do you love it?

J'habite à Aigues Mortes un village fortifié au milieu des marais de Camargue, riche en tradition (toros). La ville est touristiques mais a su garder son esprit village. Ici tout le monde se connait et s'appelle par son surnom (La Sagne, Trois Poulets). Elle est idéalement située entre la mer et les Cévennes. ***** I live in Aigues Mortes, a fortified village in the middle of the Camargue marshes, rich in tradition (toros). The town is touristy but has managed to keep its village spirit. Here everyone knows each other and calls each other by their nickname (La Sagne, Trois Poulets). It is ideally located between the sea and the Cévennes.
