Les Aillos

A small four-star naturist campsite in the Lauragais countryside, between Toulouse and Castelnaudary, on just over five wooded, shady hectares. It is a deliberately simple and secluded place, with a clientele of regular families and couples who come back every year: the word that recurs in all guests' accounts is conviviality, together with the names of the managers, Betty and Xavier. The centrepiece is the heated outdoor pool, with a children's pool, a large sunbathing area and loungers, open every day from ten in the morning to eight in the evening. There is a bar with light meals based on local products, a fitness trail, games and activities, and accommodation in mobile homes, chalets, an ecolodge without private facilities and shady pitches with electricity included. The campsite is a member of the French Naturist Federation and applies its charter: nudity in the common areas, hygiene and mutual respect. From mid-July to mid-August there are two fixed evenings a week: the brazier grill on Tuesdays and the aperitif with live music on Thursdays. Conveniently located for Toulouse, Carcassonne, Albi and the Canal du Midi. Those who do not speak French may find it a little difficult: reception mainly speaks that language.
