There are fat people here in France and there is the start of an obesity problem among young people. But there are many more people in good if not athletic shape. Much of that is that French people do not eat between mealtimes - it is hard to get a meal outside what your mother recognised as Proper Times To Eat - and that French meals are not big. Food and the quality of food is important to French culture and, while you can eat badly in France as anywhere else, it's probably harder to. And chains like MacDonalds are more infrequent than elsewhere.
Yes, there is en erotic charge at Cap d'Agde. For some it is the reason to go, for fewer it is a turn-off. A lot is the freedom. For many there appears a mischief in what they wear and how much they show. They perhaps reason that there's no point in worrying how much you show in the evening if you've been showing it all all day anyway. If you've wondered what it's like to wear a transparent blouse with nothing beneath it, this is the place to find out. If you want to wander topless in a tiny sarong tied so it hides nothing, this is where you try.
That doesn't mean that everyone does or there's pressure on those who don't care to. I concentrate on those aspects because they are how Cap d'Agde differs from conventional clubs, perhaps from what you know. It is not a nudist club and so the rules are different. There are no rules. And that's what makes it so refreshing for many.
happy days

Hi Leo,
I will be visiting Cap during the first weekend of June and still have a mixed opinions about this place. I represent the younger and new generation of naturists, who might differ from the existing one (still exploring though...) and therefore I am interested to spend a week at Cap D'Agde which can definitely provide an altogether new insight into the naturism.
I am a single guy in the early twenties and don't know what to expect there for a single man because i doubt that couples or groups would welcome single men with open heart, to interact and spend time with. As a whole, what are the opportunities do I have at Cap as a single.
For me, Naturism means complete freedom and liberty to one and all, to feel being closer to nature more than ever and in the process I don't care about what it takes or if someone staring at me. I belong from a rather conservative society and that's why always wanted to break free from the shackles of social status and plasticism.
Thanks in advance for your opinion and guidance.
Regards,
Lead_Naturisme

Hi all here,
I'm a frenchman and into naturism for 30 years. In tne view of the people I have met mostly in europe and in my personnal view too, naturism is NOT about sex. Cap d'Agde has got a particular reputation and draw likeminded people. Well, this is freedom.
Now, if you visit France from june to september, I would advise you to go on the atlantic shore insted, south of Bordeau. There are nice naturists centers inland too like in Dordogne. Less people, more space, great food.
There, your wife or girlfriend will feel real good !

Buildabridge, while your viewpoint may be a valid one, keep in mind we have here a flame free and profanity free forum. We like it that way, it preserves camaraderie.

I hope you did not mean to imply the idea of, "sex out in the open" for Cap d'Agde because I really, honestly doubt that is true. I mean, despite your use of ALL CAPS towards the end of the reply, Cap d'Agde is still a city and I'm sure has areas where different behaviors are regarded as inappropriate. I have never been there, but I have read about it enough to feel that its owners and operators have a vested interest in keeping the place open. To allow a totally "free for all" (a.k.a. Bangin' on the park benches!) attitude would quickly turn the majority of visitors off. Sorry if you find my opinion disagreeable, but that is the way I feel.
I think the Hedonism venues are more likely to be stylish "passion pits" attracting the widest variety of "hot horny couples".
There is so much more to life they the constant pursuit of different ways to "get off"! Sure, young males may be driven by testosterone and have needs well beyond that of average mortals, but people also thrive on building relationships, forging friendships, launching business ventures together, and many other social things that are not drive by sex.

Hi,
My partner and I have been to Cap D’Agde four times now and have spent about 35 nights there altogether so I think we are qualified to give a view of the “Naked City”; to be fair I will also say that we are nudist swingers – that is we enjoy being nude at all times and also swing when we feel like it and it is appropriate to do so.
I have seen many negative things in this forum about the naturist / swinger ambiance of Cap D’Agde (I will call it Cap from now on) and the points below are how things really are – by the way our latest visit was June 2011.
The beach at Cap is long and sandy, the first kilometer of the beach is for families and straight naturists; the second perhaps 500 meters is for swingers and is delineated from the naturist beach by a medical post and restaurant on the dunes, and this year a new beach bar has been added; the next 200 meters is for gays and others. The beach after this, for about another 500 meters, is ‘no man’s land’ before it becomes textile.
There is sexual activity on the swingers’ beach and in the dunes behind the beach but as it is 1km away from the straight beach you really have to walk quite a long way to see it; I have never seen any children on the swingers’ beach. Also in July and August, when children are on vacation in France, there is a strong police presence making sure that nothing sexual takes place in public. So to summarize the beach the straight naturists and swingers are separate and I therefore think that the naturists shouldn’t take issue.
The camp site, which has 3,500 lots, is in a woodland setting and is beautiful, it has security at each gate – the camp site is purely naturist and no open swinging takes place; so once again no issue there.
The ‘Naked City’ – actually more like a village, although in the summer there can be 40,000 people there - is meant to be clothes free but the further away from the beach you get the more clothes you may see – it is mainly nudist. The built up area has three main parts:
1. There is nothing overtly sexual from a commercial point of view in the area around the port up to the Hotel Eve.
2. There is nothing overtly sexual - with the exception of “Glamour” which is often quoted as being the best Libertine night club in the world - in the area near Glamour which has several restaurants, bars and a supermarket.
3. The central area has a lot of very sexy bars and clubs which are wild – but French law prohibits the sexy bars (the best is Melrose) opening before 10pm and the clubs (including Glamour) from opening until 11pm; this is to ensure that all children are out of the way and I can say that I have never seen any children out later than 10pm.
In this area there are restaurants and cafes that are open all day and I have to say that in the early evening women wear extremely sexy clothing as they walk around so this could be considered not very child-friendly but as they have seen the same women, or at least similar women, on the beach completely nude then I would think that most children would not be phased by this.
So to summarize Cap is a great place for naturists and swingers – I would prefer if it was adults only but it is not and as I have explained I think the authorities have done more than enough to shield them from anything sexual; the rest of the shielding should be done by the parents who should consider taking them to dozens of other naturist resorts, or even nude beaches, in France.
To conclude, Cap D’Agde is a unique place and for me the best place on earth (I am well travelled) to vacation.
I hope this has been useful; please respond if you think there are errors in my understanding or if anybody wants any clarifications.

In regard to dgs7272's comprehensive report, he suggests that the swingers don't encroach upon the purely naturist people. Its only true to an extent. If you want to go for a long walk on that wonderful beach you will encounter groups crowding around others indulging in sexual activity. Also the Glamour Club has "sexy" foam parties all afternoon and its located adjacent to the family naturist beach areas. The loud disco music is painfully at odds with the naturist beach scene. Very irritating and is a constant reminder that the Cap promotes itself as a swinger resort although I imagine well over half the visitors go there just to enjoy the nude freedom.
My girlfriend and I have been going there for the past four years and love it in spite of the swinger side of things. The sad thing is that not everybody is nude during the day away from the beach and they let in day visitors who are very often single men coming to gawk or find some "action". So you think twice about being nude anywhere and everywhere which is a great pity.
People do dress at night because it gets a bit too cool to be nude but we find it fun that you can wear revealing and sexy clothes since you'd never be able to do that anywhere else. I think many normal naturists there do like that and enjoy the people watching which is what most of us do in the clothed world anyway.
We have nothing against the swingers but they really should do more about restricting their public activities during the day. And if the they allowed day access to only couples, it would encourage a bit more uninhibited nudity in all the areas.

My wife and I went to Cap d'Agde a couple years ago. We stayed in a Best Western Hotel that was outside of the Naturist area and rented some bicycles (from a Place d' Velos across from our hotel) to travel the excellent bicycle trail between sectors of Cap d'Agde. We spent our days on the beach in the Naturist quarter and did not see any flagrant sex. There was a really nice café on the beach. There was a clothing shop with changing rooms, where many of the customers were naked. We spend the nights in the rest of Cap d'Agde which is a very large tourist city. It has good train service from Paris. I really enjoyed our stay there.

We have friends that have visited for a day. They had planned to stay there but didn't. They didn't have anything negative to say BUT ... their trip report to our group wasn't all that positive. Even though ... I'd really like to experience Cap D Agde for ourselves someday. As soon as the Prof retires ... we'll start traveling and we want to go to Italy and France for our 60th Bdays and 40th Anniversay.
Loves being naked. Plays well with others!
