What to Expect
Discover Agde, one of the oldest city in France with our catamaran trip from Cap d'Agde! Starting from the vibrant Cap d'Agde harbour, the tour offers a delightful cruise through the bustling port. As we set out to sea, you will enjoy a panoramic view of the Fort Brescou Island, the only volcanic island of mainland France and a historic state prison. The journey then continues with a scenic coastal ride towards the mouth of the Hérault River, offering beautiful views of the coastline.
Our catamaran, which can accommodate up to 200 people, provides ample sun-protected areas and is equipped with accessible restrooms. It is also pet-friendly, making it a comfortable choice for families and pet owners alike. As we navigate the river, you will discover the charming fishing village of Grau d'Agde and La Tamarissière. We pass by the lively fish market and the bustling fishing port, giving you a glimpse of the local maritime culture. As we head upstream, the river reveals the historic centre of Agde, a city boasting 2,900 years of history.
In Agde, you will pass by the quays of the marina and its square, marvel at the St-Etienne Cathedral, and see the old bishopric. The tour includes a view of the bishop's dam and mill before entering the famous Canal du Midi. After exploring these remarkable sites, the tour retraces its path back to Cap d'Agde, offering one last chance to enjoy the serene beauty of the river and the coastline.
