Although I've never camped at la Peirière, I have spent quite a bit of time there: it serves as a bit of a social hub for the area.
The campsite provides a swimming pool, restaurant...

This museum is sort of like a car crash... on the one hand, you have no desire to see any of the torture devices used during the Inquisition, but on the other hand, it's so incredibly brutal that...

Food in the Cap d'Agde as a rule isn't incredible, but the Italian at this restaurant is decent.
