Camping Agde

Agde is located in the south of France, in the Languedoc-Roussillon region between Béziers and Montpellier. Agde is a typical Mediterranean city, full of history and characteristic architecture with tourism, agriculture, coastal fishing and viticulture as the most important economic activities. The old city is characterized by narrow streets and the historic city wall. They give the place the typical Mediterranean flair with lots of nice little shops and cafes.

The city consists of 4 districts, the city center, la Tamarissière, le Grau d'Agde and the youngest part, the Cap d'Agde. Agde extends between the Hérault river and the Canal du Midi in the north.

Near Agde is Cap d'Agde with a super camping offer and countless attractions. The Cap d'Agde naturist center is one of the largest in Europe. View all campgrounds in Agde

Nice to see, visit, do during a day in Agde:

• Cathédrale Saint-Etienne
• Musée de l'Ephèbe. This maritime archaeological museum is known for its ancient bronze finds and medieval ceramics. The highlight is the statue of Ephebe.
• Just like the Canal du Midi as a whole, the Agde lock is a UNESCO world heritage site. The special thing about this lock: it is round and has three exits, namely the Hérault, the Canal du Midi and the Etang de Thau.
• The lava flood of Mont Saint-Loup, Cap d'Agde is an exceptional dive site with the most powerful underwater rock in the entire Languedoc-Roussillon: the Grandes Tables. A dive leads to a unique fauna and flora.
• The extinct volcano Mont Saint Loup is located in the urban area of Agde. A nature reserve and a tourist magnet. From the observation deck of the lighthouse you have a beautiful view of Agde.
