Who comes to Cap dAgde?
When Cap d’Agde began, it was a naturist centre like all the others: perhaps not the most family-oriented place in France, but nevertheless a resort attracting huge numbers of naturists from all over Europe. Then around the early 1990s the swingers and alternative lifestylers began to arrive in force, changing the Cap’s reputation forever. Nowadays, if you believe all that is written in the press, you would think that the only people who come to Cap d’Agde are those looking for sex. Although the lifestylers are abundant and easily recognisable around town, about two-thirds of the people who visit the Cap are still only interested in the naturist side of things. Couples and single men are in the majority, with families and finally single women constituting the remainder of the clientele. This mix makes for an interesting, if not always a harmonious, group of people.
