Viewpoint
Volcano
Mont Saint-Loup rises to 113 m and covers an area of around 15 km². Located at the southern end of the Auvergne volcano chain, its eruption dates back 750,000 years and has carved out the coast, creating islets, coves, beaches and cliffs. Today, it's a protected natural area, untouched by motorized traffic. Passing through fragrant pine forests, the summit offers an exceptional 360° view of Cap d'Agde, the town of Agde, the lighthouses of Grau d'Agde and La Tamarissière at the mouth of the Hérault, the Bagnas National Nature Reserve and, a little further on, the Etang de Thau and Sète. Two buildings stand on the volcano: a semaphore and a crenellated tower known as the "Tour des Anglais", built in the 18th century. Together with the Fort de Brescou, they were part of the old coastal surveillance system.
