Cap d'Agde.   AUGUST 1997. 

This time we both visited the resort together. So these
are our joint thoughts on how the Resort is today.

The rumours have abounded regarding Cap d'Agde. "The place is 
run down." "It has been taken over by textiles." "Nothing much 
has changed". What to believe? Well we are pleased to say that 
Cap d'Agde is well and thriving and unique place where you can 
do everything in the nude. A naturists paradise.

It has been quite some time since we were last there and we were 
pleased to see that the grounds if anything are much better kept 
and the place seems much cleaner. There is still a dog problem 
though. But even that isn't quite as bad as our last visit. 
There certainly aren't as many strays and the dog owners do seem 
to clean up after them.

One of the resorts highlights is the beach. It is kept 
remarkably clean. And no, it is not populated with "textiles". 
There were very few clothed people on the beach we are pleased 
to say. Over recent years in naturist publications there has 
been much said about what goes on the dunes behind the beach 
both during the day and at night in Cap d'Agde. Whether these 
reports have been true or false does not matter. Suffice to say, 
this year it is reported that the police in the resort are 
taking measures to stop any untoward sexual activities in the 
dunes. We understand that anyone who ventures into the dunes 
after dark can find themselves under close observation by police 
with binoculars and even by police on horseback. Needless to say 
these operations have had the desired effect of "cleaning up" 
the dunes area.

We were sad to see that the small pool in the centre of the Port 
Ambonne complex was once again derelict. Last time we were there 
it was being used but couldn't have done well as this site is 
for sale. There is no doubt that the pool is too small for 
commercial use when compared to the others in the resort and we 
think that a new plan should be adopted for this area. It might 
be better to "open up" the entire centre area and pave it over 
with perhaps some garden areas. This could be used for cafe 
tables and such and such an area would attract much more 
business to that section. Let's hope that something is done with 
it before next season.

We both certainly enjoyed our trip to the Cap and were happy to 
see that it is still the unique destination for naturists from 
throughout the world. In fact we came across naturists from as 
far away as Japan, Australia and New Zealand while we were 
there. The resort is unique in the fact that you can remain nude 
during your stay there. Even shopping can be done nude. That 
isn't true of most naturist places. Clothes of varying degrees 
are worn by most people in the evenings when going out to eat 
but there isn't really anything to stop you eating nude if you 
wish. Certainly if you cater for yourself then there is no need 
to wear anything for your stay.

It is quite strange though that some people go to Cap d'Agde and 
seem to never take their clothes off. The couple staying in the 
next apartment to us were such folk. Could it possibly be that 
they didn't realise they were staying in a naturist resort? How 
strange.

Our apartment was clean and well equipped. As usual we made our 
holiday arrangement using Peng Travel and as usual we had no 
complaints about the arrangements. If fact the Peng office in 
the resort has been extended and there are more facilities 
there. Luggage handling to your apartment is also much improved 
and Peng's friendly representatives made us feel very welcome. 
If you want details of Peng Travel then please e-mail us for 
their address and contact telephone number.

So Cap d'Agde is still alive and well we are happy to say.
