About Cap d'Agde

Cap d'Agde is a seaside resort on France's Mediterranean coast. It is located in the commune of Agde, in the Hérault department within the region of Occitanie. Cap d'Agde was planned by architect Jean Le Couteur as part of one of France's largest ever state-run holiday scheme. An increasing number of retirees reside there from 1980 onwards.

On the show

You can steal some cigarette papers, but that's it, really. No one's smoking those cigarettes. That's like Cape Dagde, which is a French holiday resort. Which I didn't know about it, it's a full-on naked town. In the summer, the population reaches 40,000, which I guess is just mostly visitors. but it's quite odd because the visitors don't wear any clothes, so everyone's naked, but there are lots of shops and the post office and banks and stuff like that, and all the people who are serving them in those places are fully clothed.
