The Naked Truth About Cap d’Agde

Libertines and naturists alike abound in Cap d’Agde, the legendary nudist resort town in Southern France that attracts 300,000 visitors each summer. This 192-page book (with 16 pages of color photos) tells you why–and how to make the most of holiday to this famous “naked city.” Cap d’Agde offers more than a gorgeous wide stretch of nudist beach with some tacky gift shops and overpriced seafood restaurants. It’s a full-fledged town with its own vibe and rhythm. Cap d’Agde can be laid back and sensual, exciting and erotic, busy and overbearing, and earthy and rude–but never quite normal and normally quite surreal. When you see 100 people huddled in a circle on a certain stretch of beach in the Cap, don’t automatically assume that they are waiting to buy ice creams. And, yes, you were the only person wearing clothes in the queue at the post office the other day. Cap d’Agde helps you make the transition from the humdrum to the slightly fantastic. This book gives you all the info you need to book and enjoy a trip to Cap d’Agde–with tips and tales of what really goes on, such as how the libertines, naturists, and gays each find their unique pleasures. It also evaluates the clubs, bars, saunas, restaurants, and accommodations.
