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.

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.
