Nov 23, 2009 Things To Do
There are loads of diving shops situated around Le Cap D’agde, and loads of yachts offering diving trips. Unfortunately, even though my friend is a diving fan, when we last visited he was unable to go due to bad weather (well, it was February!) Having spoken to local diving enthuasists, I was informed the scuba diving is not particularly good in this area, but as I havnt ever dived I really can’t give an opinion on this.
As I don’t dive myself, I wouldn’t know where to start in recommending any particular place or company to use. Perhaps you could contact the local tourist office for up to date and accurate information, and get recommendations from them. Every time I have spoken to them I have been able to speak English to the person, and they have always been really helpful and friendly. Their website is www.capdagde.com
Ile Aux Loisirs
Nov 23, 2009 Things To Do
If you like fun, you can’t go on holiday and not visit here. this purpose built entertainment site has something for everyone from a casino to a fairground. The fair opens up around 9 pm each night and closes around 1am. The music pumps out quite loudly, but the location is well thought out, as all the noisiness is located on its own island and not too close to the residential areas. Read the rest of this entry »

2 Toonland, rides and attractions for younger children based on cartoon characters.
Agde Musuem …
Nov 23, 2009 Things To Do
I would really recommend visiting the museum at Agde. Although there was a lack of english signs/information around the exhibits, the staff were extremely helpful. In fact, one of the staff became our own private tour guide and between my very ‘petit’ french and her rather better english, we understood and enjoyed all the musuem. She even gave a gift to us as we left the musuem, a really appreciated gesture. Read the rest of this entry »
The musuem which was founded in 1935 by the association Escolo dau Sarret, containes the treasures of the own and features exhibits including:

Cap d’Agde’s “village naturiste” is a haven for nudists. It features all the basic amenities of any beach town, within the confines of the village.
The village is guarded and surrounded by barbed wire. You can purchase a card at the entrance that allows you to enter the nudist quarter as you please, which costs 9 euros. They of course only accept a credit card for a purchase 10 euros and up, so have cash.
The Rules
Once you are in, you will have rules to follow. They are the law, so be careful about breaking them:
Access to the quarter is reserved for naturists or those working there.
Total nudity is obligatory within the quarter and the beach, as soon as climatic conditions permit. Most people dress for dinner.
Photo shots and filming are strictly limited to members of the family.
There are also several laws banning any sort of lewd, crude or pornographic behavior.
