About Domaine de la Sablière
Domaine naturiste de La Sablière is a 62-hectare naturist holiday park in the Cèze gorge at Saint-Privat-de-Champclos in the Gard, between the Cévennes, Provence and the Ardèche. It is a family-oriented resort devoted to naturism. Accommodation is a mix of chalets, mobile homes, furnished tents and camping pitches, all rated 4-star with several quality labels. The grounds have river-edge beaches, a covered and heated pool with views over the valley, an outdoor pool, a paddling pool with slides, a sauna, a restaurant, bar and small supermarket, and a tennis court. A kids' club and evening entertainment run in July and August. Nudity is expected in most areas and mandatory by the pool, according to the naturist listings. The park is open for the summer season, with the 2026 dates given as 7 May to 20 September. Visitor ratings are good, and the site is particularly popular with families.
Legal context & local rules
Nudity is lawful on private naturist premises in France, and the park is listed as a naturist estate by the Gard tourist board.
Public nudity in France is permitted exclusively in designated naturist zones (officially recognised naturist beaches and centres). Outside these zones, nudity is criminalised under French Penal Code Article 222-32 (exhibition/indecent exposure). The legal framework distinguishes between "naturism" (controlled, designated areas) and "public indecency" (general public spaces). France has 150+ member clubs offering naturist accommodations and 50 holiday centres with official status.

Aphrodite Village (Port Leucate)
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. Nudity is the norm throughout the residence, pools and beach; the Leucate tourist office lists units here as part of the Aphrodite Village naturist residence.
Au Paradis Bleu
Naturist guest room for two in the wine village of Pouzols-Minervois in the Aude, with an independent entrance, private bathroom and large bed. Guests can use a pool, spa and outdoor jacuzzi, and book massages. Breakfast is served in the garden or on the terrace, and bikes can be hired to explore Minerve, the Corbières and the Narbonne beaches.
Aurore Plage Nature
Quiet family naturist ground at Le Rocher Saint-Martin in Ceaulmont, a few kilometres from the Brenne regional park, giving access to a clear lake with its own small beach.

Autrement, lieux de pause
Four holiday houses in the hamlet of Quelvezin at Carnac that can be booked individually or together, between countryside and sea.

They suit couples, families or groups of friends who want proximity while keeping some privacy.
Aux Dômes Auverg'Nats
