Body House

A welcome without judgment

Body House belongs to a small chain of erotic boutiques set up in Le Pontet, just north of Avignon. The idea behind the place: take the sex shop out of its sometimes seedy image and turn it into a space where you feel good, whatever your age, gender or orientation.

The brand presents itself as open to everyone, including LGBTQ+ customers, and the team on site has trained in sexology and wellbeing. In practice, that means you can ask embarrassing questions without feeling like you're bothering anyone.

What you'll find there

On the product side: lingerie, sex toys, intimate cosmetics, stimulants and lube, plus games to play as a couple. The shop goes beyond simple retail, since it also offers sexology consultations for those who want to dig into a specific topic (dip in libido, easing back into things, wanting some novelty).

This approach shows up in the layout of the store too: a space designed to stay discreet, with enough room to browse without feeling watched.

Access and hours

Body House is open Monday to Saturday from 10am to 7:30pm, and stays closed on Sundays. The only exceptions to note on the calendar: the shop closes on December 25th and January 1st, but stays open at its usual hours on December 15th, 22nd and 29th, holiday season included.

The boutique is wheelchair accessible and has free parking nearby, which makes visiting easier for anyone who'd rather not circle the block looking for a spot. For those who'd prefer to skip the in-store visit, click and collect and online delivery are also available through the website.

What regulars say

In the feedback you can read about the place, one word keeps coming up: discreet. Customers talk about a comfortable space where they didn't feel judged, and staff who know how to give advice without making anyone uncomfortable.

This welcoming atmosphere comes across as the real strength of the place, even more than the range of products. For a first visit to a sex shop, or to explore an intimate topic with confidence, the welcome seems to make all the difference.
