Domaine naturiste Le Courtialet

Small naturist campsite of the Club du Soleil de Grenoble, an FFN-affiliated association founded in 1955, which since 1999 has owned this five-hectare site at around 600 metres above sea level in the Trièves, south of Grenoble, with views of the surrounding mountains. There are some thirty spacious pitches on terraced meadows with sunny and shady areas; there are also a few mobile homes, a swimming pool, two recent washroom blocks, a shared wood-fired oven and barbecue, pétanque, a library and a laundry, but no bar or shop: for groceries you go to Monestier-de-Clermont, 5 km away. Anyone staying must have an FFN or INF licence (for stays of up to five nights a federation ticket at 1 euro a day is enough); rates start from a pitch with just one person, there are prices for children, and you can also come just for the day, from 10 am to 7 pm, with the FFN card. Dogs are allowed on a lead. It is a place chosen above all for the peace and the scenery, with many Dutch guests, and a good base for the Lac de Monteynard-Avignonet, the Vercors and mountain hikes. Those who have stayed praise the clean washrooms, the spacious pitches and the welcome from the volunteers; some, however, found the way those in charge enforce the rules rather brusque.
