Naturism

The term “naturism” took root in the 18th century when it was mentioned by several authors, including Théophile de Bordeu, a vitalist physician. His writings were notably based on the works of Hippocrates, according to whom nature and health are intimately linked. This is, in fact, the very foundation of naturism: living in harmony with nature to feel good in one’s mind and body. Undressing isn’t just about removing clothes; it’s also, and above all, about removing all social constraints. Naturists have the opportunity to connect with nature without any judgment from others, constantly remaining in acceptance of one another.

Over the years, naturism gradually developed in Europe and around the world. Its values of freedom, equality, and tolerance now attract several million followers. With a large number of dedicated spaces (beaches, campsites, swimming pools, etc.), France is the number one naturist holiday destination!

Founded in 1950, the CHM (Centre Hélio-Marin) was one of the first naturist holiday villages to emerge in France. Its success also fully contributed to popularizing naturism in France! Despite the expansion of naturist camping, holidaymakers have never stopped finding a family and authentic atmosphere there, where respect and tolerance are paramount. And that’s precisely what makes the campsite famous… Whether you’re accustomed to or new to naturism, the CHM welcomes you with the same kindness and good humor! Parents, children, teens, couples, friends… At CHM, the practice of naturism is adapted to everyone.

The holiday program promises to be packed for the whole family. In terms of infrastructure, the CHM has nothing to complain about. Water park with outdoor pool and slides, indoor pool, activities, entertainment, evenings, restaurants, shops… And a beach! Located by the sea, the campsite has direct access to a huge naturist beach. No need to travel for miles or take the car to take a dip in the ocean.

To ensure everyone lives in harmony and respects one another at the CHM, certain rules and customs specific to naturism must be followed.

When you go on holiday to a naturist campsite, full nudity is, of course, mandatory in most common areas (pool, beach, water park, etc.) when the weather permits. In addition to the omnipresent respect and tolerance on the campsite, other rules of good conduct, such as limiting photo taking to personal and family use, should be observed. The naturist charter outlines all the rules to be followed at the CHM.
