La Grande Cosse

A large campsite easily found from Narbonne - just look at the east end of St Pierre, the village to the east of Narbonne Plage - for the signpost. There's a large bar and restaurant in front of a blue swimming pool. It's truly international. You'll love the easy walk, across marshes full of wild birds including flamingoes, to one of the longest naturist beaches in France.

Mas de Lignières

Not far from the amazing limestone cliff town of Minerve, this genuine (INF cards are required) offers camping emplacements on its mountainside, all with views, and slices of French club life that are thoroughly enjoyable, centered around its swimming pool and club house. A happy atmosphere with reasonable prices. Find it by taking the D10 westwards from Minerve; its sign-posted after about 5 miles.

Le Clapotis

Overlooking the glittrering Etang de Lapalme, and then the sea, Le Clapotis is the sort of place you get fond of and return to every year. Turn off the N9 south of Sigean for Lapalme, and then take the tiny road by the cemetary. Cross the D709 and the club's on the left.

Port Leucate

Just to the north of this custom built holiday playground are three naturist complexes - Ulysse, Aphrodite, and Oasis - all sign posted from the main N9 and all opening onto the wide golden sands of the beaches of the Mediterranean Golfe de Lyon. They have apartments and villas to rent, all set around delightful gardens, and the facilities you would expect from a specially built resort. Oasis was originally part of Aphrodite, and has now been partitioned off - its quieter.

Sérignan Plage

Actually the name of the village where Gymno Club Mediterranean has its grounds. Find Sérignan, south of Beziers, then Sérignan Plage. Turn right before the sea, along the road behind all the campsites, and you will see GCM last but one. You'll need an INF card but the club is superbly set up with plenty of space for campers, caravans to let, and an excellent restaurant.

Overlooking the shores of Lac du Salagou, Village du Bosc is in an area of France - Le Haut Vallée de l'Orb - being developed by the French Tourist Board. the red rocks, yellow flowers, and dramatic scenery make this a must. The club itself has chalets to let, a delightful pool, and a superb restaurant. you'll love the blu evening light on the waters of the lake, the naturist camaraderie.

Domaine de Lambeyran

On the other side of Lodève, take the D35 and turn immediately before the cemetary. I have never been there but their reputation is excellent, with a huge pool with panoramaic views, river swimming, and canoeing.
