Andrew Welch, from British Naturism, visited CHM Montalivet for the UK tabloid The Daily Mail.
CHM Montalivet is a nude village on the Atlantic coast, not far from Bordeaux. Welch spent 10 days at the village. As he explains you can be nude the whole time, there is no requirement to get dressed. Indeed nude is compulsory in parts of the village. Even some of the staff are nude.
Andrew writes “The only thing that makes it stand out from any other holiday resort or campsite anywhere in the world is that you will see naked people. Lots of them. Buying a baguette, a bag of apples or a bottle of wine from the well-stocked ‘Spar’ shop, walking or cycling around enjoying the chilled atmosphere, drinking café au lait at one of the patisseries, enjoying a glass of wine on a terrace, savouring an evening meal with friends at one of the many restaurants, dancing to live music in one of the bars, swimming in one of the pools or soaking up the sun on that marvellous, uncrowded beach.”
