We have joked a lot about petanque over the years, in our blog posts, and in real life. Through naturist history, the balls have become an essential part of being a naturist (pun intended). Every naturist resort we ever visited had at least one petanque court. Often several more. Petanque tournaments are always on the naturist calendar. It’s what naturists like to do, throw a couple of big balls towards a small ball. We’ve … Read more
Many naturist campsites are run as family businesses. We’ve heard the story several times before. A couple gets tired of their everyday jobs and starts dreaming about their own tropical paradise. Someplace where they can spend their days in the nude and share the experience with thousands of other naturists. The dream becomes reality. They sell their belongings, make a deal with the bank, buy a property, load their kids in the back of the … Read more
The Provence-Alpes-Côte province in the south of France is not just one of the most visited spots of the country for its amazing nature, food, and drinks. We found out that it’s also an excellent place for naturist vacations. So much that we had to split our overview into two parts. Last week you could read about how we got naked in the French Alps, the eastern part of the region. This week we’re slowly … Read more
One of the things that we were really looking forward to on our Big Nude Tour de France was spending some time in the Provence region. It’s often said that this part of France contains everything that the country has to offer. Excellent landscapes, delicious food, top-class rosé wines, and great weather. But that’s not what attracted us. The region is also home to quite a large number of naturist campsites. And if there’s one … Read more
It’s often said that the French Provence region contains some of the best of the whole country. The region is a summary of France, so to say. Except for the lousy weather from the north. During the last weeks, we had been traveling through the foot of the Alps mountains, hiking through woods, and bathing in freezing rivers. Moving towards the west of the region, the endless pine forests and rock formations started making space … Read more
Corsica is an island of contradictions. It’s a part of France, but it’s closer to Italy. Signs are often in both languages and also the cuisine is some sort of mix. The high mountain range and the many natural parks make Corsica an excellent destination for nature and adventure lovers. The surrounding coastline with endless white beaches then again makes the island very attractive for beach lovers. The people in Corsica are known for … Read more
We had huge plans, a couple of months ago. We were going to explore what the Caribbean islands had to offer to the naturist traveler. We would visit the white Caribbean nude beaches and splendid clothing-optional resorts. Then a virus came along. We were so close. We had already landed in Cuba. But we never made it to our first Caribbean nude beach or resort. Instead, we had to spend most of our time in … Read more
There are those places of which we just keep forgetting that they exist. The kind which, when they pop up on some travel blog, makes you think “Oh yeah, I’ve never been there yet, I got to put this on the list sometime”. A thought that quickly dissolves again when we scroll further and end up reading another blog post of a place that we did visit and that brings back wonderful memories. That’s … Read more
For the last several years, we have been writing reviews like this one about the many naturist places that we’ve visited around the world. We always write from our own experience and we always try to put the spotlight on what makes a certain place unique. Some places are a true gift to write about. They have such great views, such amazing staff or such an awesome social scene that we have to keep ourselves … Read more
The shock of moving back from Mexico to Belgium was also temperature-wise. Every time we return to our home country to spend some quality time with friends and family, we’re surprised about how cold it can get. Especially now, in mid-summer. Luckily, we had something to look forward to. Soon we would move on to France, the country that had thrown three heatwaves our way last summer. That didn’t work out exactly as we … Read more
