In total, it would be 460 spaces intended for this way of life, for 4 million regular practitioners in France, including 2 million foreigners.

This philosophy seems to have become popular because of some of its virtues. According to the definition of the International Federation of Naturism, such a way of life allows you to recharge your batteries physically, physiologically and psychologically. In addition, it “is characterized by the fact of the practice of nudity in common”. Naturism also makes it possible to overcome the shame of the body, body-shaming, imposed by contemporary social norms. For its followers, it is theoretically a return to the simple life and to a life more respectful of nature.

Nevertheless, the penal code recalls that: “Sexual exhibition imposed on the sight of others in a place accessible to the gaze of the public is punished by one year’s imprisonment and a fine of 15,000 euros” in article 222-32. No question, therefore, of walking around naked anywhere. For you, Planet has compiled the list of trendy naturist places for the summer of 2022, according to ELLE media and Actu media.
