How Do You Get from Montpellier Airport to Cap d’Agde?
There are a number of ways that you can travel from Montpellier Airport to Cap d’Agde Naturist Resort, and these include private airport transfers, taxis, train, and other public transport.
Private Transfers and Taxis
A private transfer from Montpellier Airport tends to take around 45–60 minutes to reach Cap d’Agde in normal traffic. Pre-booking can be particularly useful if you are arriving with luggage or want a direct journey to your accommodation.
A2A offers pre-booked airport transfers and can take you directly into the Naturist Village, close to your accommodation.
Can You Travel by Train and Bus?
Another option is to take airport shuttle line 620 into the Montpellier transport network, then continue by train to Agde. From Agde station, you can take a local bus or taxi from the station to the naturist resort.
We have traveled this way ourselves once, and it does become quite a laborious journey doing bus, train, and then bus, as opposed to an airport transfer from the airport directly into the naturist resort.
For flights, trains, driving, and other ways to reach the resort, see our Travel & Arrival Guide to Cap d’Agde.
Can You Drive from Montpellier Airport to Cap d’Agde?
If you are planning to drive to the resort by hiring a car at Montpellier Airport, the route below is the one you need to take.
Is Montpellier or Béziers Airport better for Cap d’Agde?
If you can find a suitable flight into Béziers Airport, it is certainly closer and more convenient than flying into Montpellier.
Montpellier, though, is often a good choice because there are more flights and more choice of travel dates. You might find, for example, that the Montpellier flight is cheaper, arrives at a much better time, or operates on the day you actually want to travel.
For UK visitors, Béziers Airport can be particularly convenient when there is a suitable direct flight, but the route choice is more limited than from Montpellier.
If the Béziers flight works well, I would choose Béziers. If Montpellier gives you a much better flight, the longer transfer can still be worthwhile.
If neither airport suits your dates, see our guide to the airports closest to Cap d’Agde for other options.

Is Montpellier Worth Visiting Before or After Cap d’Agde?
If your flight times allow, Montpellier is also worth considering for a short stay before or after your visit to Cap d’Agde.
The most popular attraction in Montpellier is the town square called the Place de la Comédie, which boasts the Three Graces fountain built in the 18th century by Étienne d’Antoine.
The square was named after a theatre that was burned down in the 19th century. Other places worth visiting include:
- Antigone District
- Tour de la Babote
- and the Porte du Peyrou (which is the region’s arch of triumph).
Montpellier is also home to the Musée Fabre, a world-famous museum, the Jardin des Plantes de Montpellier (which is officially the oldest botanical garden in the country), the Saint Pierre Cathedral, and the Saint Clement Aqueduct.
Montpellier has an attractive historic centre with plenty of cafés, restaurants, shops and cultural attractions, making it a worthwhile stop before or after Cap d’Agde if your flight schedule allows.
