Au Petit Paradis, that's a name that doesn't completely lie. Perched at 630 meters altitude on the heights above Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, this naturist gite looks out over the Gorges du Verdon from a corner of nature that has kept its wild side.
A nest at altitude
The place sits at Tréguier Haut, a fifteen minute walk from the center of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, one of the most beautiful villages in France with its faience lined lanes and its star hanging between the cliffs. So you can sleep naked up on the heights and head back down, get dressed, and stroll through the village for a lunch or a visit.
Catherine and Xavier run the place as a couple, which gives the whole thing the feel of a guest house rather than a commercial establishment. It's a detail that comes up often in reviews: the welcome is personal, not standardized.
Gites and heated pool
The accommodations are naturist houses, designed for stays as a couple or a family. A heated pool is set up on site, precious in a region where nights at altitude stay cool even in the height of summer.
The place caters to naturist couples and families looking for a quiet setting rather than a party atmosphere. No club, no group entertainment here, more a place you come to for silence, scenery and freedom of the body.
Hiking and the Gorges du Verdon
The site gives direct access to the trails of the Gorges du Verdon, which means you can hike naked through a landscape of limestone and scrubland. For anyone who loves walking, that's a real plus compared to a classic naturist center closed in on itself.
The surroundings stay unspoiled, far from the crowds that pack the canyon's best known viewpoints in summer.
Access and distances
Au Petit Paradis is 1h30 from Aix-en-Provence, Fréjus and Marseille, 2h from Cannes, Sainte-Maxime and Saint-Tropez, and 2h15 from Nice. Enough to organize a stay of a few days without crossing the whole region.
The site is listed in several naturist tourism networks, which confirms its reputation as a safe bet for a discreet stay between mountain and Provence.
