More information on Agde
This ancient port was founded by the Greeks over 2,500 years ago. Today, the commune of Agde sees its population of about 20 000 increase ten-fold during the summer months, and while most visitors will be destined for the nearby beaches or the seaside resort of Cap d'Agde, this town is nonetheless well endowed with restaurants, hotels, shops etc. Host to many archaeological expositions of international renown, the year 2000 sees the arrival of a new cultural centre open to all : the Maison de Savoir. Don't be put off from a stroll around the lanes of the town centre with its omnipresent black basalt. Among the most notable buildings is the fortress-like Cathedral Saint Etienne. Despite the bleak exterior, inside one cannot help but admire the enormous nave supported by its single beam. To escape the crowds wander along the banks of the Canal du Midi which passes by way of the town from the Etang de Thau heading towards Béziers and beyond. Alternatively, follow the Hérault river down its final kilometres until it meets the sea.
