Cap d’Agde is a lively town which is on a peninsula jutting out into the Mediterranean, hence ideal for boating, beach activities etc, with plenty of genuine charm from its days as a fishing port. Just 11 km/7 miles away is Marseillan where you can tour the cellars of Noilly Prat, the iconic French vermouth. The Canal du Midi is also nearby in Agde –
240 km long, the Canal du Midi linking Toulouse to Sète, was built in the 17th century. It is unique in the world, leading it to be listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Today, the Canal du Midi has two main activities: tourist navigation and transport of water for irrigation. Adge is the final stage of the Canal du Midi before the Thau lagoon and Sète. You can discover the river port, where the former “Hôtel de l’Administration du Canal” (Canal Administration Building) and the 3-gate Agde round lock can still be seen (www.en.capdagde.com)
