Where is the village located
Cap d’Agde Naturist resort is located on the Southern Western tip of France, close to Montpellier and also within driving distance of Barcelona, Spain.
Also within a day’s drive are the mountains of Andorra.
With an international airport in Montpellier and the fast TGV trains from Paris to Agde train station, this resort is very accessible.
What is the Weather usually like in Cap d’Agde in the summer season?
The season is from the end of March to the end of September.
There is a good chance of good weather for most of that time, but this is still Europe and there can be rain, overcast days and the sea is pretty cold compared with the tropics.
The sea is not really as warm as one might find in a country such as Greece.
Overall, if you visit Cap d’Agde in June, July, August or early September you have a very good chance of suitable weather for naked sunbathing.

Many people for example fly into one of the local airports such as Beziers or Montpellier airports, but the TGV trains are a great way to get to the resort from Paris, whilst driving is also a popular choice with many British visitors.
Is there any Language Barrier
From our own personal experience not speaking French was not in any way a problem.
In the shops and bars etc English was widely spoken.
If you do make the effort though to try and speak at least a few words of French it will, of course, help and create a better impression.
To get the most out of the resort then French will help, but do not be put off if you do not speak French.
Another excellent source for Learning French on the cheap is to go to the BBC Learn French site.
There are a number of free lessons online and the structure of the lessons is very good.
France is a wonderful country to travel and so why not try and learn some basic expressions just to make your trip as a whole, that much more enjoyable?

What nationality are most people who visit?
It is amazing how many English, American, German and Italian accents you hear as you sit in a bar or walk along the beach.
My wife and I were sat in one bar in the evening, and it turned out that all 4 tables next to us were English.
There are many many English people, although when we are in England no one seems to admit to going to Cap.
There are a lot of French people who visit Cap d’Agde for sure, but there is far more of a mix Internationally than you might otherwise have expected.
