Are you visiting our destination, looking for accommodation, a restaurant or a leisure complex with facilities that are adapted so you can maintain a certain degree of independence despite your disability? Welcome to our destination!
The Cap d’Agde Méditerranée Tourist Office is committed to the French national Tourisme & Handicap label and all the destination’s tourist information centres will welcome you and strive to make your stay here as easy as possible. This quality label was created in 2001 by the French Ministry in charge of tourism, to guarantee accessibility at tourism sites and facilities, and ensure they are adapted to each type of disability: visual, hearing, motor and mental.
Throughout the Mediterranean seaside resorts such as Agde – Cap d’Agde, Portiragnes, Vias and in our towns and villages, including Pézenas, Montagnac, and Tourbes, our goal is to satisfy your specific needs and make your stay here as easy as possible.
