Details of The Area


NEW! Reviews and Testimonials
 

Cap d'Agde is located on the Southern tip of France. It is a modern seaside resort and occupies one of the best sites on the Languedoc coast.  It is a modern seaside resort and occupies one of the best sites on the Languedoc coast.  There are no less than eight marinas along its shore. The architectural style of the town centre is inspired by traditional Languedoc architecture.

 

It is a place of unique contrasts with seven beaches of beautiful fine sand.  Ten areas with their own individual style, atmosphere, habitat and way of life.  Throughout the season this Languedoc-Roussillon resort lives to the rhythm of sport, festivals and the Mediterranean.  Truly a resort for everyone all year round.

 

Agde is the old town.  In fact it is the second oldest town in France. It was founded 2500 years ago.  It is steeped in history and has a fortified Roman cathedral, ramparts, churches, museums and not forgetting the quays on the river Herault, the Promenade.

Montpellier

Montpellier is the capital of the Languedoc-Roussillon, It is home to a youthful and dynamic university culture, and has a host of artistic festivals and events.

Good places to go and soak up the atmosphere are the Place de la Comedie, a lively square with many brasseries, cinemas and theatres, Place Jean-Jaures, Rue de l’Universite and the surrounding streets, in the vast setting provided by the Polygone and the far east end of the Antigone district.

There are a vast array of shops and many shopping centres. Ideal city for shopping and people watching.

Beziers

Capital of the Languedoc vineyards and home town of Pierre-Paul Riquet (who designed the Canal du Midi).

Visit the Allees Paul-Riquet, which is lined with numerous brasseries with pleasant shaded terraces, cinemas (to the east) and bars (to the west) or Place Jean-Jaures, where the fountains are illuminated in the evening.

On 15 August Beziers hosts a particularly lively summer festival the Feria du Beziers.

The central covered market (halles) is open Tuesday to Sunday. Other food markets are held on Tuesday mornings in Place Emile-Zola, on Wednesday mornings in the Iranget district and on Friday mornings in Place David d’Angers.

A new shopping centre has just opened in 2011 near "La Gare" (the railway station) in Beziers called "Polygone". There is a wide variety of shops, restaurants and coffee shops. There is free underground parking in Summer. Well worth a visit.
