Many people have been asking about the costs and the situation with regards to entering the resort as day visitors and as someone staying at the resort.
A common question is if you can enter with a Cap d’Agde day pass and how much it costs?
Below I have tried to answer the most common questions. **Please note though that these are the answers to the best of my knowledge.
For the very latest and exact information, you will need to talk to the front office at the resort entrance. Information can change at short notice**.
Entering the Resort – Your Questions
Below are common questions and the answers given on our partner Yahoo group:
1. I’m staying in one of the hotels inside the resort in July. Is it necessary or advisable for me to get an FFN card prior to my visit, or will I not need one?
If you are a couple and have booked a place to stay in the village, you won’t need this card.
(2024 Update): In 2023 people who were entering on as day visitors were asked to show FFN (French Federation naturist) Cards. If you are staying inside the resort just show your accommodation booking and you should not need an FFN card.
2. I am staying in the campsite area. Do I need an FFN card?
In previous years you were expected to have or to pay for FFN membership when checking in at the campsite.
From 2022 FFN membership was no longer required so no, you should not need an FFN card.
3. We are visiting the resort in August and staying in Port Nature? So can you tell me if a gate pass is required for people staying inside the village Naturiste?
Yes, you will need a weekly gate pass which you can get at the office next to the entrance gate.
This pass will give you access to all of the resort and enable you to leave the naturist enclosed area if you need to.
There is though everything you can possibly need inside the resort as it is a small village in its own right with supermarkets, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, post office and so on.
4. We are in Cap D’Agde next week, staying in a hotel just outside the village. We plan to buy a 7-day couples pass but would like to use the beach during the day then go back to our hotel to change and re-enter the village for the nightlife. I understand entry must be before 8 pm. Is this possible or is the pass only valid for one entry per day?
You can get a weekly pass and use it any time, but if you exit the village twice, you have to wait an hour to get back in the 2nd time, that’s all.
The 8 pm restriction is for daily passes, as far as I am aware.
5. What are the vehicle entrance costs?
Note: Below is the last price list we can find but the prices have since been raised.
6. I am traveling from Australia and I am a single traveler. Do I need to have a Naturist Association membership card to enter the main naturist beach? I am staying somewhere outside so I have to enter the beach with a day pass.
First Reply: I would definitely get one if I were you. Better to be safe than sorry.
But you are only meant to need a Naturist Association card if you’re going to stay at the campsite.
Elsewhere in the village, you just need an entry card which you can purchase at the entry gate when you get here.
Second reply: Yesterday I was refused entry as a day visitor with a car!
It is my 4th visit in 8 weeks to the naturist village.
Previous visits were pre-booked accommodation and 6-day visits. My most recent day visit was 2 weeks ago.
I have never encountered any problem as a day visitor before, just show my passport and pay the 18 Euros for entry and car.
Yesterday I was told that I could only be allowed in if I held the French Naturist Card!
I never needed one before and they told me it was a new policy so I asked to buy one only to be told by reception that they do not sell them and that I must get it from the internet.
I told them I would go to Oltra reception to buy one and so they gave me 1 hour’s entrance to visit Oltra.
I queued at Oltra 30 mins and Oltra told me they would only sell me one if I had a Rene Rene Oltra booking!
They also told me that the card gets sent to your home address anyway (I live in London). I went back to the village reception, explained and they were adamant that they could not let me in ( even though I had my passport).
They said sorry they could not offer any solution. So, it seems that day visitors can no longer access the village if they do not have a French Naturally Naturist Card, as a single traveler.
2023 Updates
- You do not need an FFN (French Federation Naturism) card for the resort.
- 1st-time visitors report – read Bob’s first-time visitors report.
- If you have new information so that the content above can be updated with the latest prices, rules etc for the resort entrance and day passes, please do let us know so that we can keep this information as up-to-date as possible for all visitors. Many thanks!
Never had a FFN card as I always carry my British naturist card and the campsite accepts this. So l would expect the gate will also so when book in naturist accommodation you will not have any bother.
That’s a great point actually Helena yes. The rules as I understand them are not that you must have an FFN card but that you must be a member at least of an official naturist organisation.
im planning to come with my partner on next september,staying in an apartment 1.5 km far from the naturist village, would like to know how much it cost us a weekly pass to the village, and i dont have any naturist card, what exactly do we need please? thanks
Can anyone confirm the need or not of the FFN or any other Naturist Association to enter as visitor to the Naturist Village? We are a couple that don’t have such a card, and we have a reservation in a hotel outside the Naturist Village.
In the past we didn’t have any problem purchasing a 14 day pass, but now we are a bit worried, thinking of cancelling our hotel reservation looking for another destination.
Thanks for all this info. Got my FNN card after reading this and entry took no time at all. Had a great time. Will return soon! Thanks
Hello sir, could you please tell me how did you get this card? I mean, could you please write the process?
I want go to cap d agde.Please some information provide me.
Hi Bappa – everything you need to know about Cap dagde should be on this site. If it isn’t let me know what you need to know on the comments here or by the contact form! 🙂
I was in Cap D Agde in May 2019 and I visited the Naturist Village and obtained a Day Pass for 8 Euros. I only needed 1 form of identification so I produced was my UK driving licence. No INF card was reqired. The process was really simple.
Very useful information as many people do ask how much day entry to the naturist resort is so thank you for that info Royston.
Is it possible to enter after 20:00 on a saturday evening if you do not stay within the naturist area?
Hi Gregor – it is possible because lots of locals come in on Saturday nights to visit Le Glamour nightclub so yes, you can.
Thanks for fast answer Paul! I was just about to book for a short visit in July so this was very helpful. But still i must say I wonder what the 8 pm restriction is about then? Is it opening hours to get in with car, buy entrance cards for longer stays etc or what? If we stay outside is the fee then 8 euros every time we pass the gate unless we buy a 3 day card?
Now I can answer my own question since I called the entrance office (+33 4 67 26 00 26). It showed that if you are a single person you are not allowed to enter after 20 pm, but couples can. They are open until 2 am. Entrance fee 8 EUR/ person.
Wow. I didn’t realize that regards singles. Thank you for sharing that information Gregor with us as that is good to know. You will have to enter the resort 759pm! 🙂
Luckily I have company!
Ah – perfect 🙂
How much for weekly pass entry for couple 7 days and it can use muti entry during the day before and after 8 pm
hello. We are a couple visiting the area but we would love to enjoy a night out in the Village if possible. It’s August 2021. Can we visit the Village and book a restaurant to dine in. Do most people dress up in the evenings as we would like to dress to impress?! I take it the costs would be a couples day pass but wondering if we can enter after 8pm?
Hi John and Mate. No need to book for the restaurants (with the exception of Le Mississippi).
Yes, people do dress to impress in the evenings.
My wife & I are staying outside the Village. The day pass requires passport identification. I am concerned about bringing our passports into village & beach…Do you know if a colored photo copy is acceptable?
You can use your driving license as ID to enter the naturist resort, as Royston suggest below.
Hi I stayed out side the Naturist Village last month all I needed was my UK driving licence Day Pass for one E8.
Thank you for that info Royston. Good to know that its possible to avoid lugging the passport around.
We are a couple staying in an apartment with parking for three nights. We don’t need to enter or leave when there.
How much will parking and entry be for us both please?
Hi Lisa – when staying in an apartment in the resort you will normally be allocated a spot in one comes with the apartment. Parking is limited in the resort. cheers. Paul
I will be staying in a naturist hotel inside the village what id will I need ie ffn card or similar? Also, can you go totally naked inside the village anywhere or do you have to dress?
Hi Dean. You should not need a card as long as you have a copy of your reservation. Yes, you can be totally naked 24 hours a day 7 days a week inside the resort. Yes.
My friend and I have booked accommodation within the village ( not the campsite) for 14 nights July 2020. We will be arriving by car and have free parking on site within the village. How much is the entry card- I presume the vehicle access daily tariff is not applicable and a one -off fee only is payable?
Also although probably staying totally within the village how does it work if say you walk outside somewhere- how to you re- gain access on foot when returning – I presume you do not an additional ‘ walking’ pass on top of the pass obtained on first arrival- will this original pass allow entrance back in through the pedestrian gate?
Many thanks
Alan
I would imagine the cost would be the same as last year, so 20€ per car for 2 weeks and you can use the same entrance card to go in and out of the gate on foot, so pedestrian access is included in the price.
