Hi:
We are planning to visit the coast near Bordeaux in July and want to visit
naturist beaches/ resorts. Does anyone have any good suggestions,
recomendations?

I've heard of EuroNat but know nothing about it.

All and any info will be welcome.

Hi from the U.K.:-)

If your near Bordeaux then your in Naturist Heaven
Go to Soulac-sur-Mer( if your North of the River use the little car
ferry over the river rather than going all the way inland).
Go south to Grayan et L'Hopital
Between here and Vendays Montalivet the whole coast is given to
naturism, including Euronat (south of plage du Gurp), and CHM
Montalivet ( just south of Montalivet les Bains)
Euronat adress:
33590 Grayan L'Hopital FRANCE
Tel:(33)05.56.73.24.51
Fax:(33)05.56.09.39.73
English spoken

Hope this is of some help

Hi From the U.K.

Dont know of French naturist campsites per se but can suggest 2
excellent beaches in N. France that my wife and I have used (and had
an excellent time) if you want to camp near by.

1 BREVILLE-SUR-MER
Find Granville on west of Cherbourg peninsular. Go north to
Breville-sur-mer.To reach the naturist gathering (about 500 strong 2
years ago) leave the D971 (Granville-Coutances road) at Grand Chemin
heading for the Breville "airport" (very small, grass runway) BUT
follow the road over the dunes going North up to the seaside untill
you see a car park in the middle of nowhere on the left. Walk 300m
to the sea and use the beach on the left behind the disused rifle
range. Sounds yukky but is a beautiful fine sand beach not known by
many who are not French

2 LA TURBALLE
Opposite Belle Ile near the mouth of the River Loire.
Go to seaside town of La Turballe, turn left (South) and go along the
D192 towards Village Vacances Famille (VVF)
Continue out on peninsular to Centre Medical de Pen-Bron. At start of
private road to the Hospital (Red & White pole barrier) is a car park.
Leave car here and walk through dunes to sea. Anywhere south of the
large white pyramid on the shore is well populated by French Naturist
Families. 2000 on a warm day but a mile of beach

If you are still interested in English Campsites come back to me

Would help if I actually remembered to cut and paste the URL wouldn't it?

Sorry

P.S. I haven't checked every link. Take a look and you'll see why ;-)

Can't recall for sure, the web site to try is something like www.le-guide.
Someone else must know complete details round here?

Happy days,

The current British Naturism magazine has an article called "Sort Break
in Normandy, mentioning the "Club du Soleil de la Porte Océane just
outside Yport not far from Le Havre. It says: Contact: M.R. Gilles
