"Camping Site opened today. The normal struggle to get through Village first checkpoint though. Camping last year offered to send us cards, later rescinded in February. E Mail told us to go to office with contract though. Waste of time though as the new cards have not yet arrived. Come back next month, said the charming young lady. So back to the barrier, and waved the contract at the security guard, having tried last years card without success. Entry achieved!" Vive La Belle France avec Dieu Macron ! | |||

"Pass by a few weeks ago to see the parking we had been allocated for the motorhome. I take it you didn’t notice the green netting attached to the perimeter fencing, rumour has it this season they will be informing people that this is a naturist campsite. Bing it on " Not noticed any green netting. Seems rather pointless shielding the camp site from the rest of the Village Naturiste. Will keep an eye out though. As it was only 13C today, naturism was on hold! | |||

"Are they asking for details of any naturist organisations you may belong to before flogging a bit of card for an extortionate amount like in 2019 for theirs? showed them a recently expired BN one, but insisted we had one of their own French ones, Its early yet obviously,but perhaps in season and with this year not being clothes optional but proper naturist through out the campsite, they may enforce similar again when the school hols star especially be good to know as a BN one is cheaper if we got to have one." Still requesting affiliation to some naturist organisation. When we requested the FNN Card today, having paid for it, the response was that we do not have the cards yet. Fourth year in in a row! If the queue is excessive tomorrow, may start another go slow. | |||

"How is the new commercial floor in Port Ambonne coming on?" Going for a stroll tomorrow. Drove past today and it looked like the harbour building work in 2019. 2 bulldozers, don’t think of wearing high heels! | |||

"Looking to visit Cap for first time in early May for a long weekend from my house in France . Any guidance appreciated on where to book " Put Agde into the Forum Search Engine. It’s a subject that has been covered many times. | |||

"never been to cap and we have a week away from the kids thinking cap of maspalomas which is better" When would you be going ? | |||
"Nice stroll today. In Port Ambonne, Pizza Flora had the shutters up and were cleaning the kitchen. They expect the new floor to be complete by the end of next week, and to open by 4th April at the latest. The 3 bars at the other end, Bodega, Palmerie and Pilouterie are already open. The Sauna is advertising a St Patrick’s day event on Saturday 19th March and shutters were up. Going down to Port Nature bumped into David from Le Missisipi. They will be opening on 29th April. Apart from that nowhere is open at present, but some restaurants are cleaning kitchens, so signs of life. Tantra have a sign that they will be opening for Friday and Saturday and Public Holidays in May. In Hélio, Green Bazzar is already open. Spar and the nice bakery are open mornings only at present. Back at camp site. Reward for all that is in a Verre de Vin Rouge." Thanks for the update, always welcome. St Patrick’s Day Special at the sauna club! Brilliant.. The saint’s feast day that just keeps on giving. Surely, there must be an episode of ‘Father Ted’ there somewhere?! | |||

"never been to cap and we have a week away from the kids thinking cap of maspalomas which is better" We go to both every year and Cap wins hands down | |||
"never been to cap and we have a week away from the kids thinking cap of maspalomas which is better We go to both every year and Cap wins hands down" Yes we would agree. However it would depend on the time of year. Cap is is a very short season in the summer. For Autumn/Winter/Spring we would say GC is better. | |||
"Cap is is a very short season in the summer. For Autumn/Winter/Spring we would say GC is better." So live in GC, and holiday in Cap is best? | |||
"Cap is is a very short season in the summer. For Autumn/Winter/Spring we would say GC is better. So live in GC, and holiday in Cap is best?" If you want the swinger scene all year round then that would be a pretty good idea. | |||

"Out of interest what has happened to what was Wokkers (the good old days)?" Now called O2Bizoux. Run by 2 French lads. It’s not seen many Brits for last 2 years. | |||
| |||
| |||
"I saw on the Oltra Facebook page that a significant number (I think 30+)employees at the campsite have resigned but it is not clear why ("changes" brought about by the owner was quoted). Does anyone k ow what is going on? We are looking fwd to another 2 stays so hope all is well! " New management, two years on. Think P and O Ferries. | |||
| |||
"Given that the UK is now on the Green List and unvaccinated Brits can visit France, does the same apply to Cap? Are unvaccinated visitors allowed entry to the Naturist Village, bar, clubs, restaurants, the famous mousse, and 2et2?" Restrictions were lifted on 14th March 2022 | |||

"Two years ago we heard a rumour that Oltra Campsite was planning a swimming pool. (Warning, don’t get too excited). Well, it has come true! The Animation Office was moved during the winter, and behind it is the new swimming pool. However, it is quite small, and is for children only. Oltra has now updated the map, and there are going to be a Coffee Bar and a Bakery/Grocery in the area around the entrance. Will update as and when they open." That's a shame, always said a pool would be a lovely addition to the campsite.. oh well, back to being doused down with the hosepipe to cool off!  | |||

"We are booked for June staying in Port Nature. Is there any other paperwork we need to take other than booking confirmation and vaccination passes? I.E. FFN card or similar? " Not at the moment. The vaccination passes and mask requirements have ended at the moment, although some medical establishments still require a mask. | |||

Has been pointed out that Public Transport, including local buses, still require face masks. No idea whether taxi firms require them. | |||

"Hoping someone can help us with this one- are there any bars in Cap that sell non alcoholic beer? Mr p has recently given up drinking and we are visiting in June. " This is a guess, but the Sports Bar next to Pilouterie/ Palmerie seems a good chance. Will have a look on next walk and update you. I have to warn you, you stand about the same chance of finding a Vegetarian Restaurant here. | |||

We thought as much and are happy to bring our own drinks- it’s just when we’re out in the evening. Thanks again! | |||
"Hoping someone can help us with this one- are there any bars in Cap that sell non alcoholic beer? Mr p has recently given up drinking and we are visiting in June. " When in June are you guys there. We are getting in on Monday June 6th for a week and so looking forward to the break. | |||
"Hoping someone can help us with this one- are there any bars in Cap that sell non alcoholic beer? Mr p has recently given up drinking and we are visiting in June. " No problem getting ‘sans alcool’ beers/pastis in the supermarkets, alcoholism is a particular problem in France so would imagine that if you ask for ‘Bière sans alcool’ many bars would be able to serve you. As mentioned in another reply, vegetarian dishes are rare in French restaurants although I have noticed a few Cap restaurants that offer one vegetarian plate on their menu Earlier this year, as an experiment, I went Vegan for 3 months. As part of a group meal from our Gym (Natureva Spa) we went to Joys restaurant who said that they would serve a vegan dish. My dish turned out to be, one mushroom, a spoon full of French beans, lettuce and chips! | |||

"Well we have found that most places have an alcohol free beer if you ask (except waiki beach) and the supermarket had a choice of about 6 different ones. It does seem quiet here though compared to 2019. We’ve been to the sauna twice and each time there have been less than 10 couples and about half a dozen men in the singles section. Last time we were here it was packed every day. Obviously the financial downturn is taking its toll everywhere and people are being more choosy about where they spend their money. " Well that's good news for us single guys as it used to be jam packed with fellas!!  | |||

"Has anyone been in the new grocery store or cocktail / refreshments bar in Rene Oltra campsite was just wondering if this means you don’t need to walk into village to pick up supplies like water soft drinks etc .." Yes, we've used the Grocery store. Great for water etc, saves lugging it all the way from town. Prices similar to supermarkets in town too. Not much choice with their stock at the moment, but hoping it will improve in time as they get more experienced and learn what people want. Haven't tried the new bar yet, but looked quite busy as we walked past in the evening. Noticed that they had entertainment on too. We will give it try when we're back again next week. | |||
