Agde - le Cap d'Agde

the Mediterranean sea is here!

Between Agde and Cap d'Agde, Mont Saint-Loup marks the southern end of the Auvergne volcanoes. He cut the coast by creating islets, coves, beaches and cliffs... The city of Agde, the "Perle Noire" is one of the oldest French cities with its 26 centuries of history. It nestles at the crossroads of the Canal du Midi and the Hérault River. The use of anthracite-coloured volcanic stone has shaped its unique identity, unique in Languedoc. Labelled "Villes et Métiers d’Art", shimmering alleys and artists' workshops animate the heart of this city of character with a southern accent. The famous family seaside resort of Cap d'Agde is a vast complex open to the sea, to be discovered on foot or by bike thanks to the maze of pedestrian paths and cycle paths. The "Patrimoine du XXème siècle" label has been awarded to Cap d'Agde for the architectural quality of its facilities in accordance with the shapes and colours typical of Languedoc villages.

The final stage on the GTMC à VTT route offers some nice surprises. The first part of this stage is enjoyable as well as beautiful, taking you from Montagnac to Castelnau-de-Guers. You’ll ride along lovely paths, between pine woods and vines, with views to the Etang de Thau lagoon on one side and the Mediterranean on the other. The GTMC adopts part of a local route entitled "Terroir d’Art et de Nature de Montagnac", dotted with sculptures and statues. It’s then a very gentle ride along vineyard paths, quiet country roads, and cycle tracks. You can take your time now, taking in the vine-covered terrain and the ancient city of Agde, crossed by the Canal du Midi, before you join the Med along the only stretch of volcanic shoreline in the Languedoc.
