Eden Avesnois

A small family naturist association in the bocage countryside of the Avesnois Regional Nature Park, at Boulogne-sur-Helpe (Nord), affiliated with the French Naturism Federation since 1997 and a member of the regional collective Hauts-de-France Naturistes. The grounds, found in 2000 and opened in 2004, offer 40 spacious pitches with or without electricity for tents, caravans, motorhomes and mobile homes (many taken by members with a seasonal pitch), a fishing pond, a heated swimming pool, a communal barbecue, a boules area, a volleyball court and a children's play area; members organise shared lunches and dinners during the season. You can come for the day or for a few nights even without a membership card, and anyone wishing to join first makes up to three trial visits; the rates also include a single-person option. Dogs are allowed on a lead. The area is ideal for walks and mountain-bike rides, with water sports on the nearby lakes (Val Joly, Etang du Hayon) and several historic sites to visit. It is appreciated as a small, quiet place with welcoming managers; at the start of the 2026 season the pool was out of service for a few weeks due to works.
