Submitted by: Brad - Cap d'Agde Trip Report
My wife and I spent a week in the Cap d’Agde Naturist quarters. We rented a car in Nice (not the closest airport) and we spent 4 weeks in South of France. Driving in France is very easy, with the roads excellent and well marked.
We arrived at the naturist section of Cap d’Agde and registered. The registration site is in a textile area, at the entrance
to the naturist village. After registering, we drove into the village; we bought some groceries; and then we headed to our condo. I parked the car on a side street with no one around. I got out of the car and began to remove my clothes, much to the dismay of my wife. “You cannot do that right here on the street, “ she exclaimed. I ignored her warning, and proceeded into the shopping
mall, with her looking on in shock. We entered the grocery store, and I was one of the
many totally clothless people. The only fully clothed people were the check-out persons. We went from store to store making our selections for our week stay.
In nothing but our birthday suits, we drove to our condo in Heliopolis. We unloaded the car and hauled our goods to the second floor. Our condo on the second floor had a spacious balcony where we enjoyed most of our meals. The downside was that the condo was poorly equipped. What was there was in poor, worn out condition. The furniture was well used. I called for replacements for missing items, and the front desk responded in timely fashion. For a thousand dollars for the week, we expected something a little better. Otherwise the condo was convenient.
Each morning I walked with nothing but a smile on my face to the bakery for fresh baguettes. The lovely smell of the French bakery is one I still remember. We enjoyed breakfast on the balcony covered by a roll-out awning. The balcony was absolutely delightful. We could easily watch the other naturists going about their daily business down below.
The beach, absolutely beautiful, was within an easy walk. On the beach we rented loungers (with an umbrella) for an acceptable price. Our stay was only marred by a traditional three-day wind called the 'Mistrial'. The wind was so strong that the wind whipped the sand on the beach. The beach was empty. This did not deter us. We found pleasure on the Roman canal outside Cap d’Agde. A day’s cruise on the canal lessened our dismay of not being on the beach.
The good beach days were beyond good, they were superb. We toasted in the sun, read, and sipped drinks delivered to us. We took long walks along the beach. A day on the beach was concluded by a stop for cocktails at the beach bar, where we relaxed as we watched the sun go below the horizon. From happy hour we strolled to nearby restaurant for dinner. While most diners wore at least pareos, I remained in the buff. We sipped wine and enjoyed tasty French cuisine. The variety of restaurants and bars is unlimited.
Each day we found reasons to go shopping. Shopping without clothes was new for us, but we thoroughly enjoyed the exposure. The pastry and butcher shops offered unbelievably enticing food and meat. The variety of food encouraged us to prepare meals in the condo.
We are not real party poppers so we did not partake of the discos which begin very late. The people at the late night spots were casually dressed, and very young for the most part. There are clubs for all lifestyles. Would we return? You bet we would. It was a great week.
