| Comments |
Aigues-Mortes is a medieval walled town in the Camargue, the brackish delta region of southern France known for its flamingo colonies and salt flats. The "Flamant" is a local complementary currency, part of the wave of French monnaies locales that proliferated after 2010, intended to keep spending within a defined geographic community. These are not legal tender and carry no redemption obligation from any central authority.
Whether the issuing entity styled itself "Principauté" as a historical reference or a marketing conceit is unclear from the available documentation.
