Built at the foot of an ancient volcano, Cap d'Agde has its feet in the water. The Mediterranean Sea bathes this seaside resort mainly known for its marina and its busy nightlife. The beaches are also part of the must-see. There is that of the Pinewood and that of the Tamarissière, but also that of the Grau d'Agde which revives the old fishing village. Located a few steps from the city center, the Grau d'Agde has developed especially during the second half of the 20th century. The local festivities, from the Feast of the Sea to the Fishermen's Day, reflect the maritime history of the place. Local specialty, Cap d'Agde also houses a naturist village. Those who prefer to avoid the sea baths will always be able to fall back on the aquatic park Aqualand Cap d'Agde, the largest in Europe. Giant slides, wave pools and fast rivers will delight fans of thrills.

Near the Cap d'Agde, one can visit the Pays de Thau, a natural space of gigantic proportions consisting of a palette of colors ranging from blue to orange tones. Whether you cross the vineyards, hike the Canal du Midi by bike or ride the Gorges de l'Hérault by canoeing, you will inevitably be amazed by these immensities. After a sports day, what could be more relaxing than sitting on a terrace to enjoy a glass of the famous Muscat de Frontignan ? To consume in moderation, it goes without saying.

Last stop, the town of Sete baptized "Island Singular" by the writer Paul Valéry. The latter is not the only artist to have sung the praises of this Venice of the South of France, since Georges Brassens also marked its indelible imprint on the local cultural heritage. Naturally, concerts, festivals and plays follow each other all summer to honor the memory of these great names of French culture.
