Aphrodite is one of the self-contained naturist apartment residences that make up the Villages Naturistes of Port Leucate, on the Aude coast between Narbonne and Perpignan. Built in the mid-1970s, it is a large, car-free complex of low-rise apartments, studios and small villas grouped around courtyards, owned by individuals and let mostly by the week through owners and local agencies rather than run as a hotel. Units typically sleep two to four people and have a terrace; some upper-floor flats have a glimpse of the sea and views of Canigou and the Corbières hills. Shared facilities include secure gated access, free parking, two swimming pools (a lap pool open mid-June to mid-September and a relaxation pool open April to October, heated outside high summer), three tennis courts and a pétanque area, with shops, restaurants and the marina within the wider naturist village. The long naturist beach of Port Leucate is a short walk away.

Camping Naturiste Arnaoutchot, also called Domaine Naturiste Arnaoutchot, is a naturist campsite in a pine forest of about 45 hectares near Vielle-Saint-Girons in the Landes, south-west France. The site has direct access to a private naturist beach. Facilities reported in reviews include a heated indoor pool, a spa and a sauna, a supermarket, restaurants and a cinema. Capacity figures differ: one listing mentions more than 500 pitches, and a regional listing gives a total capacity of 1,500. The season runs from 1 April to 27 September, according to the listing sites. One listing notes that new visitors may be asked to be introduced by a family who has stayed for at least three years, so it is worth phoning ahead. One listing leaves the naturist box unchecked, which conflicts with the site's naturist status. A French naturist guide describes it as a naturist campsite, but I did not confirm its federation membership. Confirm current rules and prices directly with the campsite.

Héliomonde at Saint-Chéron in the Essonne was long known as the only naturist campsite in the Île-de-France region. It no longer appears to operate as one. The site, about 45 km south of Paris, is a 47-hectare wooded estate on the Route de la Petite Beauce. It now trades as La Forêt d'Azalée, a family campsite in the ClicoChic group, and the old heliomonde.fr address redirects to the new website. That site promotes mobile homes, chalets, a covered heated pool with slides, an outdoor pool, a sandy beach, a play area, a gym and a restaurant-bar. It does not mention naturism. The booking link still carries the code 'heliomonde91', and chalet sale listings on the estate describe it as the former Héliomonde campsite. As a naturist site, Héliomonde had tent, caravan and van pitches, rented chalets and mobile homes, and a spa with sauna, hammam and hot tubs beside an artificial beach. It was usually open from April to September. Older directory pages still list it under the naturist name. The sources we read do not give the date of the change, who bought or now runs the estate beyond the ClicoChic branding, or why naturism ended. The reason for the change has not been published.

Booking listings describe a seasonal outdoor pool, free parking and free Wi-Fi in public areas, and one listing calls it an adults-only property. Nudity is optional, which matches the stored record. Pricing and availability were not found and need checking directly with the resort.

The estate suits people who want a self-contained naturist village with its own facilities.
