Canal du midi, Mont Saint Loup, Fort Brescou
Around Cap d’Agde, discover the internationally renowned tourist sites that have contributed to its strong reputation.
The 240 km long Canal du Midi, which is classed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the round lock of Agde are two great examples. Built under King Louis XIV of France, it made the ancient dream of linking the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean a reality after 15 years of Herculean works.
There are other sites of interest to tourists located close to Agde such as Mont Saint Loup, an old volcano from the Auvergne chain of volcanoes or Fort Brescou, situated on the only volcanic island in the Golfe du Lion, 1500m from the coast which can be visited by boat, departing from Cap d’Agde and Grau d’Agde. The icing on the cake of this Southern delight are the wine cellars and vineyards, beckoning holidaymakers to taste their famous Coteaux du Languedoc or Picpoul de Pinet.
All of these treasures of Agde are easily accessibly thanks to its proximity to large towns such as Béziers, or Montpellier which has an international airport. Agde also has a railway station with several connections to Europe, including England (TGV Eurostar), the Netherlands, Germany, and Benelux (TGV Thalys and direct trains).
Sun, sea and sand, along with nature, the fruits of the earth and the extraordinary setting of Cap d’Agde’s four sites are waiting for you!
