I was amazed to see the auther’s comments on Cap d’Agde quioted in the Sunday Times and it is hard to believe that he lives only 20 minutes drive away and yet can be so ignorant or wilfully misleading about one of the finest resorts in France..Cap d’Agde is NOT primarily a naturist resort..less than 5% of the total area and holiday population are within the entirely segregated naturist ’village’..it even has it’s own separate marina !
I agree that the architecture would not win any awards but it is at least unobtrusive and not positively unpleasant (as the weird geometrical shapes stuck on the front of the Grande Motte apartment blocks undoubtedly are), and there is no high rise.
The overall layout of Cap d’Agde is superb allowing the majority of holiday residents to reach their nearest beach on foot without even crossing a road...a far cry from having a busy, noisy and dangerous dual carriageway running beside the beach so common in older resorts too numerous to mention.
I suggest that the Mr. Wright should spend a little time in ’Le Cap’
to soak up the delightful atmosphere created by so many french families enjoying their summer holidays in safe and happy surroundings.
Yours, still shocked by the author’s ignorance or prejudice against seaside holidays par excellence, and truly
