Domaine naturiste du Petit Arlane

A large naturist village (Tikayan group) of 70 hectares in Valensole, in the heart of the Verdon Park and the lavender fields of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. Officially rated 3 stars, it spreads around two small lakes on hilly, wooded land crossed by two circular naturist trails of 2 and 4 km. The pitches (minimum 100 m², with electric hook-up) are available with a lake view, an Alpine view or deep in the woods. The range of accommodation is very wide: mobile homes, single-storey gîtes/apartments, and the "Tanzania" and "Kenya" lodge tents on the lakeshore. On site: an unheated panoramic pool open from late May to September, a restaurant and snack bar in summer, a small grocery, sauna, laundry, volleyball and boules courts, a games room and a children's play area; in summer there are evening events and entertainment. The area is a good starting point for exploring Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, the Gorges du Verdon and the Lac de Sainte-Croix. Open from late April to the end of September. It is liked above all for its calm, nature and trails; guests include men travelling alone who have felt at ease. Several guests, however, report that the toilet facilities, pool and bar need renovating, and in September 2026 the restaurant and bar remained closed.
