Naturism is a way of life whose main characteristics are the practice of communal nudity and the desire to live in communion with preserved nature. Respect is a very important value of naturism: respect for others, respect for oneself and finally respect for the environment.

Naturism is booming and attracting an increasingly varied audience. It is indeed a friendly, soothing, fulfilling lifestyle. The body is liberated, the mind too. All naked, we no longer apprehend the gaze of others. We learn to love our body as it is and to respect that of others. All naked, we ignore social differences and live in harmony, serenely and freely.

At the kids' club, children choose whether they want to be naked or not. We recommend wearing clothing to protect yourself from the sun. The facilitator will in all cases be fully dressed.
