A slice of Drôme by the water
This swimming spot lies within the Ramières nature reserve, between Crest and Livron-sur-Drôme, not far from the A7. People come here to swim in the Drôme river, in a setting that stays wild despite the highway's proximity.
The permissive nudity classification means that attire is left up to each person, with no strictly designated zone. Naturists mingle with clothed swimmers here, in an atmosphere that remains fairly family friendly.
When to go
The best swimming conditions come in July and August, when the water level and temperature cooperate. Attendance depends a lot on the season and the state of the river, with some stretches more or less accessible depending on the time of year.
What people say
Regulars appreciate the natural feel of the site and the chance to swim in a river far from asphalt. The spot is also mentioned in guides devoted to naturism in Drôme, a region where gorges and waterways offer several similar spots. Hiking trails let you extend the outing around the reserve.
