Agde and the adjoining Cap d'Agde on the Mediterranean coast offer photographers a mix of volcanic rock formations, black sand beaches, and historic architecture. The 12th-century Cathédrale Saint-Étienne stands in the old town center, built from local basalt. Fort de Brescou, a 16th-century fortress on an offshore island, marks the region's maritime history. The port area and the Musée de l'Éphèbe, which displays Greek and Roman artifacts recovered from the Mediterranean, document the city's long seafaring tradition. The coastline provides varied subjects, including Mont Saint-Loup, a 114-meter (374-foot) extinct volcano, Plage de la Grande Conque with its black pebbles, and the volcanic cliffs at Cap d'Agde. The Thau Lagoon near Sète, Île des Loisirs with its recreational facilities, and the Hérault River mouth at Le Grau d'Agde extend the photographic possibilities. Additional sites include Château Laurens, an Art Nouveau building, the Round Lock on the Canal du Midi, the Brescou lighthouse, and the 14th-century Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-l'Agenouillade.
