The history of Cap d'Agde

Cap d’Agde is closely linked to the history of Agde, one of the oldest towns in France, founded by the Greeks in the 6th century BC. A former Mediterranean trading post, the town has preserved a rich heritage, notably thanks to its monuments built from volcanic stone from Mont Saint-Loup.

As for Cap d’Agde, its development as a seaside resort began in the 1960s, as part of the Mission Racine, a major project to develop the Languedoc coastline.

Today, Cap d’Agde is a must-visit destination, renowned for its beaches, marina, water sports and Mediterranean lifestyle.
