Responsible and sustainable tourism, sport, culture, ecology, this is the credo of Cap Nature Agde. A few days ago, Fabrice Hatt, the manager of Cap Nature Agde, was live on France Inter to talk about his passion for outdoor activities and highlight the city of Agde.
It hosts Free Midithis Saturday morning, Place de La Marine, where he had just dropped off holidaymakers after a historic visit to Agde by canoe.
“With my wife Samira, for over three years, we have been accompanying groups, in France and abroad, to whom we offer sports stays: sailing, climbing, caving, canyoning, hiking… We decided, three years ago now, to crisscross this beautiful territory from Vias to Agde, offering calm, soothing circuits in magnificent landscapes. We have set up at various reception points on the banks of the Hérault. The last one set up will be operational on Monday July 1, on the jetty at La Tamarissière”explains Fabrice Hatt. “From the beginning of spring to autumn, we mainly dedicate our activity to canoe-kayak trips between the sea, the Thau lagoon, the Hérault or the Canal du Midi. An activity very popular with holidaymakers and even locals.”
“My husband is also passionate about the 2,600 years of history of the city of Agde and its heritage. On each outing, depending on where he is, while paddling, he tells the story. So, these walks sports are also cultural”Samira says.
The originality of Cap Nature Agde consists of offering itinerant routes near vacation spots, to avoid traveling by car. This ecological and responsible approach offers the possibility of discovering the ponds, the river, the Canal and the sea in a different way.
Cap Nature Agde offers a beautiful circuit of water walks, going from the volcanic reliefs of the cliffs of the Grand Conque, the rocks of the 2 Brothers, Fort Brescou to the ponds, paddling along the preserved coasts of the Marine Protected Area. The opportunity to observe seabirds, fish and marine mammals in their natural habitat or along the river. All this offers a mosaic of landscapes as beautiful as they are different, conducive to relaxation and discovery.
“Our canoe rentals are made from different points in the Agde area, depending on the requests and the geographical location of the holidaymakers. So no more traffic jams lasting several dozen minutes to enjoy an activity.”
