Camping naturiste La Chênaie

A small naturist campsite run since 1975 by the Club des Naturistes Rouennais, a non-profit association, in an oak wood in a bend of the Seine about twenty kilometres from Rouen. The grounds, six hectares of which four are developed, offer shaded pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes, plus two caravans and four mobile homes for rent. The centre of communal life is the heated outdoor pool with its terrace; around it are minigolf, archery, a pétanque pitch, a shared barbecue and a bar open every afternoon, where the association's volunteers organise dinners, cabaret evenings, discos and karaoke throughout the season. Nudity is the rule throughout the campsite, except for weather or medical reasons, and to stay you need an FFN card or one from your own national federation. Pets are allowed on pitches but not in the rental accommodation. A family atmosphere, with attention to detail, appreciated for its welcome and the cleanliness of the renovated washrooms; the go-kart track about 700 metres away can sometimes be heard, there are no shops on site (bread is bought in the village) and online booking is compulsory, even for a single night.
