Agde, an ancient town founded by the Greeks, is now renowned as a mass summer tourism destination on the Mediterranean coast. Its wide range of accommodation options means it has become one of Europe’s foremost tourist resorts. This new hotel and holiday home development will extend southwards at the extreme end of the Agde shoreline, in an area that is still relatively undeveloped and where individual housing districts predominate.
