Tips from the Community
The panorama that unfolds before you is the legacy of intense volcanic activity. The first eruptions of the Agde complex began here, at Mont Saint-Loup, approximately 950,000 years ago. They would end some 50,000 years later with those of Petit Pioch. Despite the time that has passed, the landscapes of Cap d'Agde retain the imprints of this exceptional geological history.

A few hundred meters from the village of Castelnau-de-Guers, in the middle of a pine wood, the Saint-Nicolas-de-Talpusiac chapel was built on a hill at the foot of which passes the fishermen's path (cami peissonier) connecting the Étang de Thau to Pézenas. The chapel is mentioned in 1106 under the name "Ecclesiam S. Nicholay de Talpussiac". The name Talpussiac, translated as "Talpussiac's domain", suggests an ancient origin for the site. Archaeological surveys near the chapel led to the discovery in 1992 of the site of a rural settlement from late Antiquity. The current chapel, oblong in plan, and its south and west facades are pierced by a door. It was consecrated in 1819, but is now disused.

This lunar landscape made up of small mounds of rock formed by rounded pebbles eroded about 50 million years ago during the flow of water that covered our region in the Tertiary era.

A small lighthouse, a jetty, and blue as far as the eye can see. The Pointe des Onglous, where the Canal du Midi flows into the Thau lagoon, is an ode to contemplation. The pond reveals itself in 360°, as does its oyster farming vocation, with the azure sky and the silhouette of Mont Saint-Clair in the background. A picture that also features the town and port of Marseillan, the wild expanses of the Maldormir district, the tip of the lido, and old salt pans.

The Bagnas lock is the last single-chamber lock on the Canal du Midi before Sète, at the end of the canal. Built around 1676, it is located 235.2 km from Toulouse at an altitude of 2 m, between the Étang de Thau to the east and the Hérault river then the Prades lock to the west. It is located in the commune of Agde in the Hérault department in the Occitanie region.
