A young, dynamic seaside resort
Le Cap d’Agde was created during the 1960s, due to a governmental decision to develop tourism along the Languedoc-Roussillon Mediterranean coast. Under this plan, immense beaches of blond agate sand were arranged harmoniously around facilities in accordance with the architectural codes and the typical colours of the Languedoc villages. It was the construction of the marina that really helped create the Le Cap d’Agde of today. Aqualand, the Ephèbe Museum, the Aquarium, the International Golf Course, the International Tennis Centre, the Ile des Loisirs leisure island, the naturist village, there’s a wide range of facilities on offer!
