Oh France, you naturist paradise! It almost feels like we should start a separate blog, just about naturism in France alone. Even then we would probably not be able to explore everything the country has to offer for the naked traveler. During this summer we decided to travel through the southern regions of France and search for the best naturist vacation destinations. Because we found so many places to talk about, we decided to split … Read more
The days when naturists didn’t do much else than camping in the woods are long gone. During the last decades, more and more people became interested in nude traveling. Sharing the naturist values of respect for each other, the joy of non-sexual nudity, and the love for nature. But not necessarily very interested in sleeping in a tent. Whenever there’s a certain interest, there’s someone who will take care of the new gap in the … Read more
Ever since the beginning of naturism, France has been the number one country in the world where people like to drop their clothes. Today it’s not different. Nowhere else can you find such a huge amount of naturist places like in France. For many years, a common misunderstanding was that all the French just loved spending their time in the nude. They did not. Even though their country provided so many facilities for naturists, the … Read more
A large part of our job as naturist travel bloggers is researching, often much more than the average naked traveler. One of the advantages of this is that now and then we stumble upon some of the most magnificent spots. Wonderful nude beaches away from the crowds. Or well-hidden pearls of naturist campsites that suddenly appear on our radar. Like naturist campsite Verdon Provence for example. Tucked away in the Gorges du Verdon, one of … Read more
Every summer roughly 2 million naturists find their way to France for a nude vacation. 2 Million! That’s a lot of people. That’s the population of Slovenia. They’re not all Slovenians though. Naturists from all over the world put France on their nude itinerary. Interestingly, the variety of naturist accommodations in France is not what one would expect. The large majority of places are campings and we’ve met plenty of naturists who didn’t have a … Read more
We are often asked about our favorite naturist destinations. Which place do we like the most for our nude vacations? It’s a question to which we honestly can’t give a solid answer. All places are so different and provide such a diversity in naturist experiences. Often we prefer to bend the question a little bit and talk about the country which definitely has the most options for naturists: France. We had explored some of … Read more
The term “family naturist campsite” can be interpreted in several different ways. Sometimes it’s meant that the campground management does a lot for visiting families. Other times it’s about the owners, who are running the campground with the whole family. And we’ve even seen cases where the whole staff just considers each other as a family and thus calls themselves a family naturist campsite. On some rare occasions though, we find a place where … Read more
Let’s start with getting the elephant out of the room. There are some rumors going around lately that naturist campsite La Sablière will soon turn textile. Of course, if there’s smoke there must be something burning. The reason for these rumors is a recent take-over of the campsite by the company Capfun. An owner who turned not al that long ago a naturist campsite into a textile one. Nevertheless, we have many reasons to believe … Read more
The river La Cèze, in the north of France’s Gard region, could probably better be nicknamed the “naturist river of France”. Or at least the part of it where we were heading to next. No less than three naturist campgrounds in a radius of maybe a kilometer or so have access to the river. We don’t have to tell you that bathing suits are a very rare sight in this place. Our first skinny dip … Read more
The Provence is one of France’s most iconic regions and probably also one of the country’s most visited ones. Not only by tourists, by the way. Many artists from the previous centuries have found their way to the Provence and fell in love with the huge lavender fields, the sunflowers, the typical villages, and the stunning landscapes. And probably also with great food and excellent wines. Paul Cézanne used to live in the Provence, Pablo … Read more
