Club Naturiste Air et Soleil

A club, not a campground open to everyone

Air et Soleil is located in Franconville, in the Val-d'Oise, less than half an hour from Paris. The grounds cover one hectare, fully enclosed and landscaped, which gives it a more intimate feel right away than a big naturist campground down South.

Here you're more in the spirit of a private club than a place people just pass through. In fact access works through membership, with the option of a one off visit if you book ahead.

What you'll find on site

The site is equipped with a pool, a solarium and a terrace for sunbathing and relaxing. A sauna and changing rooms round out the relaxation side, with restrooms on site.

On the activities side, the club keeps things simple and sociable: petanque and archery are among the pastimes on offer. A bar lets you stretch the day out without leaving the premises.

Book before you come

No showing up on a whim: access is by reservation only, and you need to contact the club several days before your intended date. This is part of what explains the close knit atmosphere of the place, far from the crowds of some more touristy naturist centers.

Cash payment is accepted on site, which makes one off visits simpler for non members.

Who it's for

Priority goes to families and couples, in a classic naturist spirit. Single men may be accepted, but under specific conditions that are best clarified when booking.

As for the vibe, regulars talk about well kept facilities and a warm, family friendly atmosphere, closer to a closed club than a public space. The reservation system, in fact, seems to play a part in this natural sorting of the clientele: fewer people, but an atmosphere that stays sociable according to the available feedback.

If you're looking for a discreet naturist spot in the Paris area, without the crowds of the big centers, Air et Soleil checks that box, as long as you plan your visit ahead and look into membership terms before hitting the road.
