Herault is a department of the region of Occitanie, Southern France.





Named after the Herault River, its prefecture is Montpellier.





Cap d'Agde is a seaside resort on France's Mediterranean coast.





Cap d'Agde is located in the commune of Agde, in the Herault department within the region of Occitanie.





Cap d'Agde was planned by architect Jean Le Couteur as part of one
of the largest state-run development schemes in French history.





Cap d'Agde has a large family-style naturist resort. The Village Naturiste
is a large fenced-off part at the north-eastern edge of Cap d'Agde,
although it is accessible along the public beach from the east.

It is a self-contained town (sometimes referred to as the "Naked City"), where nudity is legal and common in the whole resort.





In the evening, when it gets colder, more people are dressed, sometimes in revealing clothes.





A local tourist tax is charged per person, per day.





At the far end of naturism ethics, the village is also becoming a hotspot for swingers and libertines.





The Naturist Village is a town by itself, with a 2 km (1 mi) beach, a large marina, 2,500 campsites,
apartment complexes, hotel, shops, restaurants, night clubs, bars, post office, bank and ATMs and other facilities.





The land adjoining the long sandy beach at Cap d'Agde was owned for many years by the
Oltra family who farmed the olive groves behind the sand dunes adjoining the beach





After the Second World War the brothers Oltra noticed that people were coming in increasing
numbers to camp on their land, and that many of these people liked to bathe and to sunbathe nude.





The Oltra brothers began to formalise arrangements for campers on their land, and this
subsequently led to the creation of the Oltra Club which is a caravanning and camping resort.
