About Agde

Stretching along the coast of the Hérault, in the popular Languedoc, is lovely Agde. Made up of two contrasting communities — Vieux Agde, on the left bank of the river, and the summer playground of coastal Cap d’Agde — this is a fascinating base for couples, families or friends. Chosen for their location, amenities and style, our pick of the best places to stay in Agde includes a relaxed B&B as well as a romantic foodie hotel, both within easy reach of the coast.

Head to Vieux Agde to admire 12th-century Agde Cathedral, visit the Musée de l'Ephèbe and discover the Musée Agathois Jules Baudou, displaying artefacts discovered on the seabed. Little ones will particularly adore the Aquarium Marin. A port city with a rich maritime history, Agde is also a wonderful spot to savour excellent seafood, or to try watersports. Go sailing, kayaking, scuba diving amongst shipwrecks or fishing with experienced anglers. You’ll find sweeping sandy beaches, funfairs and water parks in Cap d'Agde. To the east sits the world’s largest naturist resort, popular with both day-trippers and residents.

Don’t miss the chance to explore Grau d'Agde, a traditional fishing village at the mouth of the River Hérault. Close to the best places to stay in Agde, the village has some excellent seaside fish restaurants.
