LE CAP D’AGDE
LA CITÉ D'AGDE
Right by the seaside
Since the time of Agathé Tyché, a history
stretching over 26 centuries
Located on a volcanic headland lined with
golden sandy beaches, a mosaic of
neighbourhoods surrounds the marina.
Enjoy the setting and all the hustle and
bustle: yachting, leisure, a party atmosphere
all over the quays, shows, music and much,
much more… Time for you to relax!
Agde is a jewel in Languedoc’s heritage, a town
of Greek origin, entirely consisting of basalt
rock. As you stroll from the streets of La
Glacière to the Hérault River, from the
Cathedral to the Promenade, from the Marine
to the banks of the Canal du Midi… you are sure
to fully experience that great Southern lifestyle.

for all your questions, 7/7.
Capagenda
the full events programme Capagenda is published
every week in French, English and German.
It is available at all information points,
in your accommodation and in local shops.
www.booking.capdagde.com
for selecting and booking your accommodation in Le Cap d’Agde,
Agde, Le Grau d’Agde or La Tamarissière.
LE GRAU D’AGDE
LA TAMARISSIÈRE
The fishermen’s village
Enjoying a cool breeze in the pine
woods
The beach, the quays and the lighthouses,
the trawlers sailing back and forth, the fish
market auction, traditional villas, the
seafront promenade… it all goes into the
Southern accents and the pace of life that
will help you to experience the best the
Mediterranean has to offer.
4I
This peaceful, shaded spot is a nature
preserve nestling between the river and the
sea. Make sure you enjoy the beach and the
nature walks and leisure… and why not have
nap beneath the pine trees?

THE BEACH CODE
For your safety, choose the areas supervised
by a lifeguard and keep an eye on the
warning flags and signs on the beaches.
• These areas are organised and
supervised by a team of lifeguards who
can be found in the first-aid posts every day
from 11am to 6.30pm. If an accident occurs
while they are on duty (flag flying over the
first-aid post), alert them immediately. At
other times, telephone the emergency
services (sapeurs-pompiers) on 18 or 112.
• Don’t rush into the sea, particularly after
spending a long time in the sun.
• Keep a close eye on your children while
they are in or near the water and help them
to remember your position on the beach by
pointing out landmarks, such as the totem
poles on Richelieu and Le Grau d’Agde
beaches, put there for that purpose.
• Access for people with reduced mobility
is made easier with the wooden boards
found at 7 of the beaches in the region from
the beginning of June to 15 September.
Also special wheelchairs adapted for
bathing (“tiralo” type) are available at Le
Grau d’Agde, Saint-Vincent, Richelieu West
and East, La Roquille and the Port Nature
naturist beach, during opening periods for
life-guard stations.
• Use the marked-out "beach access"
paths and stay within the wooden fences, to
protect the vegetation and avoid trampling on
the dunes.
• To preserve the quality and cleanliness of
the coastline, a public order prohibits access
to the beaches by dogs and horses between 1
May and 31 October, access by motor vehicles
and the flying of kites from 9.30am to 7.30pm
from 1 May to 31 October, and selling, camping
or camp fires at any time.

Welcome to a territory that is committed to sustainable
development of the marine environment!
The Natura 2000 site covers a marine area of 6113
hectares, from Port Ambonne to Le Grau d’Agde, and up to
3 miles off shore. This area shelters a wealth of important
natural life, such as Posidonia (seagrass) and Coralligène,

activities take place, such as boating, diving, and fishing,
etc.
The Natura 2000 charter encourages the businesses,
residents and visitors to adopt the eco-citizen principles,
to respect the fragile natural habitats and the water
quality.
Through the underwater trail near the coast, and thanks to
the diving clubs who signed the Diving Quality Charter, you
can discover the life forms on the rocky sea-bed and help
protect it.

LA CITÉ D’AGDE
Where fresh and salt waters meet, at the crossroads of the
Herault River, the Canal du Midi and the Mediterranean,
Agde is one of the oldest cities in France.
The town of Greek origin is located on the Herault River at
the foot of the Mont Saint-Loup, an extinct volcano. This
particular geology gave Agde an original style due to the
basalt traditionally used for construction, and a rare
environment in Languedoc-Roussillon.
On foot, by bike, or by boat... you can either visit independently
or go on a guided tour with a running commentary. Go and
explore!
Head for the Tourist Office, Place de la Belle Agathoise,
Agde, to make tour arrangements.
◆ The Town Discovery Guide will take you past vestiges of
the classical town, the mediaeval fortress and Renaissance
palaces: see the ramparts, the Cathedral, the Saint-Sever
and Saint-André churches, the Maison du Coeur de Ville
(previously the Consul’s palace), narrow streets, old town
houses with their basalt doorways and stairways, and
much more.
The full programme of guided tours is published in Capagenda.

◆ GUIDED TOURS
BRESCOU FORTRESS
The volcanic island of Brescou lies less than 2 km off Cap
d’Agde. It was fortified in the 16th century, during the Wars
of Religion. The current fort, with its 4 bastions, was
restored in 1680, probably from plans drawn up by the
great military architect, Vauban. It became a state prison in
the 18th Century, until 1851.
NOTRE-DAME-DU-GRAU
Notre-Dame-du-Grau sanctuary was built in ancient times
and was dedicated to the Virgin Mary in the fifth or sixth
century.
It groups together two religious monuments, namely:
◆ Notre-Dame-du-Grau Church, the original holy shrine.
This priory was founded by Saint-Sever, then used by the
Benedictines, before finally becoming the church of a
Capuchin convent built by the Constable of Montmorency,
the Governor of Languedoc.
◆ The Genouillade Chapel.
This was also built by the Constable in the 16th century and
commemorates a medieval miracle (authentic or legendary),
which is reported inside the chapel. It is a refreshing,
spiritual place to visit.

THE ÉPHÈBE STATUE
Discovered in 1964 in the Herault River,
the Éphèbe statue has become the
symbol of Agde’s past. Greatly inspired
by portraits of Alexander the Great and
attributed to the School of Lysippus,
this 2,300 year old Greek bronze statue
is the showpiece of the Musée de
l’Ephèbe, a museum devoted to
underwater archaeology, which also
possesses an extremely rare collection
of ancient amphorae and bronzes.

Feminine elegance, inherited from the Greek culture, is
part of the age-old values of life in Agde.
Many statues pay tribute to this; the Musée Agathois
collections are living proof of the Agde women’s taste in
fashion and fashion accessories; the “Belles Agathoises”
procession always accompanies the traditional
festivities, and the town centre is the home of many
artists’ studios that continue this tradition.
They are fashion designers, musical instrument makers,

FROM AGDE TO PÉZENAS
Journey through history and nature
in the Hérault Mediterranean vineyards
Lovers of history and architecture, explore a
rich, preserved heritage: the Languedoc villages,
medieval castles, imposing cathedrals or discreet
Roman churches tell you the long story of this land
and its inhabitants.
Discover the Canal du Midi (UNESCO World
Heritage Site) as the water flows, to the slow
rhythm of a barge, or go on a relaxing walk along
the shady banks of the canal.
Listen to stories about the Art and History of
Pézenas, the town where Molière stayed, or
plunge into 2600 years of the history of La Cité
d’Agde, which nestles between the sea, river, and
canal.
Travel across the countryside where fragile drystone huts known as “capitelles” (or Clocháns) are
hidden, or find old windmills and lime kilns.
Join the search for the vineyards, whose castles
and gardens retain memories of a sumptuous and
prosperous past.
Lovers of nature and its treasures, explore
the countryside where the perfumed garrigue
(scrubland) gives way to the ancient waves of
vines, before it finally reaches the fine, light sand of
the Mediterranean shore.
Discover the exceptional flora and fauna of the
lagoon area, which intermingle with the sand
dunes, “sansouïre” with its tufts of glasswort, and
the reed beds.
Enjoy the sunshine, the 23 km of sandy beaches,
and the many recreational activities of the seaside
resorts.
Gourmets and gastronomists, follow the “Route
des Vignerons et des Pêcheurs” (Winegrowers’
and Fishermen’s route), which invites you to share
its way of life and enjoy the local specialities.
In the cool wine cellars belonging to private owners
or cooperatives, taste the excellent vintages,
whose character is forged by the marriage of the
land, the Mediterranean climate, and the vines.
Savour the sea food etand the famous shellfish
from the Bassin de Thau area, as well as other local
gourmet specialities.
