Domaine Naturiste L'Eglantière in Hautes-Pyrénées, France

Review: Domaine Naturiste L’Eglantière in Hautes-Pyrénées, France

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

Review: Domaine de la Sablière in Gard, France

Review: Domaine de la Sablière in Gard, France

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

Why Nude Hiking is Becoming so Popular

Why Nude Hiking is Becoming so Popular

Here’s a funny anecdote. Ever since the beginning of Naked Wanderings we now and then receive messages from naturists asking us when we will organise our next nude hike. A bit surprised we always answered something like “Sorry, ehm, we’re a naturist travel blog, we don’t organise nude hikes”. After a while it became just too strange that people kept asking us about this specific naturist activity.   It became clear when we noticed that … Read more

Review: La Genèse in Gard, France

Review: La Genèse in Gard, France

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

Review: Domaine de Bélézy in Vaucluse, France

Review: Domaine de Bélézy in Vaucluse, France

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

Why is the Nude Spa More Popular than the Naturist Resort?

Why is the Nude Spa More Popular than the Naturist Resort?

The spa culture has been growing fast during the last decade or two in Europe. Especially countries like Germany, Belgium, and The Netherlands are seeing a growth in visitors of spa centers. We’re talking about “centers” and even that might be an understatement. A Western European wellness center is pretty much a water park for grown-ups. Often there are several swimming pools, jacuzzis, saunas, steam rooms, cold baths, warm baths, and the possibility to more … Read more

Review: Sérignan Plage Nature in Hérault, France

Review: Sérignan Plage Nature in Hérault, France

After our recent experiences at Cap d’Agde, the idea of naturism at the French Mediterranean coast got a bitter taste. But we don’t give up that easily and decided to give the region a second chance. At less than a half-hour drive from Cap, we found another Mediterranean naturist beach resort called Sérignan Plage Nature. Also located at a popular nude beach. Would this place be able to bring us back to naturism as we … Read more

Review: Le Clapotis in Aude, France

Review: Le Clapotis in Aude, France

The south of France is such a varied region with such an abundant mix of landscapes, cultures, and impressions that it’s almost impossible to compare one part with another. The hills are completely different than the coast. The Atlantic coast is nothing like the Mediterranean one. Even on the Mediterranean coast, the east side can’t be compared to the west. Luckily, in France, no matter which region you decide to visit, you can be sure … Read more

Cap d'Agde: A Day in the World's Most Famous Nude Village

Cap d’Agde: A Day in the World’s Most Famous Nude Village

Cap d’Agde probably doesn’t need an introduction. Many have visited the huge naturist resort at least once in their lives. Even if you haven’t been there yet, the name probably does ring a bell. Or you’ve already heard some stories about the place. Those stories aren’t always very positive and that was the exact reason why we kept avoiding a visit to Cap d’Agde. Until now.   More and more we started to think that, … Read more

6 Steps to Become Comfortably Naked

6 Steps to Become Comfortable Naked

There are many reasons why people are reluctant to engage into nudism. We believe that the number one reason, with head and shoulders, is how even the idea of being nude makes them feel uncomfortable. Basically, it comes down to shame. And basically, many of the other reasons people come up with like jealousy, religion and modesty also come down to the same thing. We don’t really like how we look. We have all these … Read more
