But every facet of ordinary city life is here, too: a bank, a post office, several supermarkets, concrete arcades lined with hairdressers, fishmongers, opticians and clothes boutiques. Europe’s libertines and swingers flock here to participate in what Michel Houellebecq envisioned in his book Atomised as the perfect “sexual social democracy”.
Since the 1990s, Cap d’Agde has gained a lurid reputation as a meat market par excellence. Only a day later, I’m happily part of a nude queue in the deli lining up for tabouli and octopus salad, while a hardbodied gay couple pore over a side of beef. The entry procedure is a bit unforgiving, but beyond is something unique: a fully functioning town with largely naked citizenry, which grows to 40,000 in the summer. Several minutes and half a bottle of sun lotion later, I’m huddled tentatively in my birthday suit on a Mediterranean beach, one halloumi-hued Englishman in a griddle-pan of sizzling brown cheeks.

There are mailboxes outside the gate, and that works just fine for envelopes, but the issue is when packages don't fit inside. "It offends me that she does not do her job because if she can't do her job, then she shouldn't be having this job," Hudak said.
Resident Eileen Hudak said the regular mail carrier has no issues delivering inside the park.
