WHERE TO GET 
YOUR KIT OFF

"You find nudity on a large scale in  what is the world’s only naturist town, midway between Montpellier and Narbonne."

France is  one of the best places to make the most of the sun, facilities are well organised and there are a multitude of Mediterranean beaches where you can get an all over tan.

 There are  83 Naturist vacation centres all over France registered and approved by the French Naturism Federation. These comprise camping grounds, caravan parks, seasonal rentals, bungalows and houses, with the bulk of them (19) being in Languedoc-Roussillon and in Provence-Riviéra-Côte d’Azur / Corsica and a further fourteen the  Midi-Pyrénées

Most of them belong to the French Naturism Club of Maison de la France and offer seasonal rentals.
