UNDERWATER ARCHAEOLOGY

The Ephèbe Museum, Agde’s pride and joy

This museum was created around its star attraction, an ancient bronze sculpture found in the Hérault river in 1964 and nicknamed the Ephèbe (teenager).

Anyone with an interest in underwater archaeology can walk from the campsite to the Ephèbe museum in just a few minutes, and admire the treasures from beneath the waves. With temporary exhibitions on different themes, it’s a real voyage through time.

VOLCANIC TRACES

Discover Agde’s volcanoes!

Did you know? The Cap d’Agde is the final link at the southern end of the Auvergne chain of volcanoes.

Nicknamed the “black pearl”, Agde is the only place on the French Mediterranean coast with this special geological feature. 5 volcanoes are still visible: can you spot them?

Here’s a hint: the Grande Conque and its famous black beach is one of the seaside town’s volcanic treasures.

ADENA, a local environmental organisation, offers educational trips for you to learn more!
