Les Hespérides

A historic naturist club (since 1958) at Étréchy, in Essonne, south of Paris, near the Juine valley (Natura 2000 sites), also reachable by RER C (the station is about 1.7 km away). It is a campsite self-managed by the association: members take turns doing the maintenance and prices stay low. Pool, sauna and various sports activities (aqua aerobics, pétanque, volleyball, badminton, table tennis); in season the club organises dances, barbecues, tournaments and open-air cinema, while guests emphasise the tranquillity and the greenery. Full nudity is the rule across the whole site, with limited exceptions (weather, work, certain sports, areas visible from outside, health reasons, the first visit of a non-naturist guest accompanied by a member - though pool access is still excluded). Day visitors must take out an FFN licence after two visits. Pets are tolerated if they do not disturb the peace of the centre, and are never left loose. It offers camping pitches, caravans (your own or rented), a small chalet and a glamping-style naturist caravan. Open from 1 May to 31 October. Affiliated with the FFN (Fédération Française de Naturisme) and the FFCC (a general camping federation, not naturist).
