La So’ Nat du Cèdre
La So' Nat du Cèdre is a naturist centre in the rural commune of Ozolles, tucked into the rolling hills of Saône-et-Loire in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. The region is better known for Charolais cattle and Romanesque churches than for naturism, but a handful of small centres serve the French naturist community here. Like most FFN-affiliated centres, La So' Nat du Cèdre likely offers a mix of accommodation options — tent pitches, camper hookups, maybe rental units — along with basic facilities like a pool and common areas. The "So' Nat" name (short for "société naturiste") signals it's operated as a members' club, typical of French naturist associations that formed in the postwar decades. Expect a low-key, member-run atmosphere rather than a commercial resort. The surrounding countryside is quiet and green, with opportunities for hiking and cycling if you're happy to dress for the nearby villages. Burgundy's wine routes and historic towns like Cluny are within an hour's drive. This isn't a destination that will appear in glossy brochures, but it serves its purpose: a peaceful naturist retreat for those who know it exists, where the cedar trees (cèdre) and the rural French quiet are the main attractions.
