Au Paradis Bleu
Au Paradis Bleu is a naturist bed and breakfast and holiday cottage run by Martine and Gilbert Daunes, in Pouzols-Minervois, in the Aude. The place operates all year round, which is fairly rare for a naturist spot in Occitanie.
The grounds are enclosed and private, planted with trees, with a pool, a spa and a heated jacuzzi usable even outside the summer season. This is the point that comes up most often in regulars' feedback: being able to swim naked in the middle of winter in warm water, without worrying about the neighbors' eyes.
Two accommodation options
The bed and breakfast room welcomes two people, with an independent entrance, a private bathroom and a kitchenette. Breakfast is included in the nightly rate.
The holiday cottage, meanwhile, is aimed more at families or groups of naturists who want to stay several days. It carries the 4 star Gîtes de France label: 200 m2 of living space, a 100 m2 living room, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and its own garden patio with pool.
Rates
- Low season (September to May): 80 euros a night
- High season (June to August): 90 euros a night
- Breakfast included for the bed and breakfast room
These prices stay within the average for this type of accommodation in the Aude, especially with a spa and heated pool accessible at any hour.
Atmosphere and crowd
The place is aimed first at naturist couples looking for calm rather than a festive atmosphere. Online reviews describe a warm, personalized welcome, with owners who are present and available, which counts for a lot in an establishment of this size.
The solarium and secure parking round out the setup, designed for a quiet stay in a small group rather than for collective naturism.
Getting there
Le Paradis Bleu is easy to reach from the A9 motorway, exit 36, then via the D64 toward Capestang. Pouzols-Minervois sits in the Aude backcountry, between vineyards and scrubland, at a good distance from the coastal naturist beaches for those looking more for nature and quiet.
