The Festival of Saint-Louis "Aigues-Mortes, Fleur de Sel" provides the occasion for the Sea Salt Brotherhood to hold its solemn chapter and swear in important figures Sea Salt Chevaliers and Ambassadors

Baptism Salt :
LWhen the Christian church baptises its children, it places holy salt on their lips to symbolise wisdom, which is at the origin of every new birth. When the Brotherhood holds its grand meeting, it presents the priest of Aigues-Mortes with enough salt to baptise the town’s children during the year ahead.

The Seven Commandments :
1. I will never underestimate salt, which is an element of life
2. I will respectfully add salt to my food, which has no meaning without it
3. I will never forget that salt helps prevent corruptibility
4. I will never forget that salt is equally a symbol of wisdom and of flavour
5. I will contemplate the sea, the sun and the wind: salt’s creators
6. I will share salt as a symbol of everlasting friendship
7. I will never become insipid

The Processions : 
The processions are led by the mace-bearer dressed in a yellow tabard, which is adorned with heraldic bearings on both sides. The wooden mace has a large pine cone on top of it. The Grand Master holds a wooden sceptre in his right hand which is topped with a flame, symbol of the Holy Spirit. The standard carried on a wooden and silver handle is made from velvet. On one side, the Brotherhood coat of arms is displayed and, on the other, the embroidered motif of the medallion.

Symbolism of the Medallion Bronze, circular medallion - set in olive-wood with a salt-filled pyramid at its centre- has a semicircle engraved above it, symbolising the rising sun, and 3 waves beneath it, evoking the sea.

Heraldry: “silver surface with azure blue waves, from which rise three cannon flames” The salt is evoked through silver, the water through the blue waves, and the Holy Spirit through the red flames. Motto : “Nunquam evanescere” (never become insipid) Dignitaries’ Dress : The chevaliers wear an azure blue mantle, with a white lining, opened and pinned to the right shoulder and rolled up on the left arm. The hat is made from black felt modelled on a 15th century style. The medallion is worn over the mantle, hanging on a large, gilded bronze chain, made up of 10 towers evoking those of the city of Aigues-Mortes, alternated with the Languedoc Cross.
