About Euronat
Euronat is a large commercial naturist holiday village at Dépée in Grayan-et-l'Hôpital, on the Atlantic side of the Médoc peninsula north of Montalivet and south of Soulac-sur-Mer. It covers about 335 hectares of maritime pine forest behind the dunes and has direct access to about 1.5 km of lifeguarded naturist beach, part of the Euronat beach divided into southern and central sections. Accommodation ranges from tent, caravan and camper pitches to furnished tents, cabins and mobile homes on the camping side, and studios, apartments, chalets and villas in the village and beach areas. The aquatic centre has three heated pools, including a 25-metre indoor pool, plus a paddling pool and a relaxation lagoon. A 1,500 m² thalassotherapy centre, fully naturist and using fresh seawater, has saunas, a hammam, a jacuzzi and solariums, and is open to non-residents. The village centre has more than 20 shops and restaurants, along with sports, cultural activities and children's clubs. It is a family resort. The season runs from 1 April to 31 October.
Legal context & local rules
Nudity is lawful within the naturist centre and on the adjoining designated naturist beach.
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
Naturist bed and breakfast in Buron, a hill village south-east of Clermont-Ferrand, offering two 50 m² rooms for up to four people, each with a private terrace and a view of the Chaîne des Puys.
