La Châtaigneraie d'Armor

A historic club

La Châtaigneraie d'Armor isn't a naturist campsite like the others: it's the grounds of Club Gymnique de l'Ouest, an association founded in 1950 and affiliated with the Fédération Française de Naturisme since that same year. One of the oldest naturist clubs in the country, based in Couëron, west of Nantes.

That long history shows in the spirit of the place: you don't come here for a one night stay, but to join a community that has known each other for years, where naturism is lived as a family and passed down from one generation to the next.

The grounds and facilities

The estate spans 6 wooded hectares, a true green lung that gives the place its calm and its privacy. Reviews often mention this feeling of untouched nature, far from noise and prying eyes.

On site, a pool and a sports field let members move around and gather together. The club has always cultivated this athletic, sporting dimension, built into its name and its history since 1950.

Club life and events

Club Gymnique de l'Ouest doesn't just open up a plot of land, it runs a whole season of sporting and cultural activities. In June 2026, the club hosts the regional interclub naturist championships of Pays de la Loire, a gathering that brings together the other clubs of the region.

Opening hours vary depending on these events and scheduled activities: it's best to check the club's website or call directly to find out the current calendar.

Access and membership

Access to La Châtaigneraie d'Armor is reserved for members of Club Gymnique de l'Ouest and their guests, which explains the tight knit, close atmosphere regulars often describe. Rates fall under an association membership, the details of which aren't listed online.

To join the club or simply ask about access terms, the best move is to contact the association directly by phone or email before planning a visit.
