About this place
Pegasus naturist bed and breakfast sits in the rolling countryside near Lorgues, a medieval town in the Var département known for its olive groves and vineyards. This is Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, where naturism is well-established and the climate delivers warm, sunny days from May through October. The property offers clothing-optional accommodation in a quiet, rural setting — think stone buildings, cicadas, and the scent of lavender and pine. As a B&B, Pegasus is smaller and more intimate than the region's large naturist resorts, appealing to visitors who prefer a relaxed, personalized atmosphere over organized activities. You'll likely find a pool, terraces for sunbathing, and communal spaces where guests mingle over breakfast. Lorgues itself is about 10 minutes by car, offering markets, cafés, and weekly brocantes. The region is also well-positioned for day trips to the coast (Saint-Tropez and the beaches of the Côte d'Azur are about 40 minutes south) or inland excursions to the Gorges du Verdon. Provence's naturist culture is mature and low-key, so you won't encounter the evangelical enthusiasm sometimes found elsewhere — nudity is simply the default here. Pegasus fits neatly into this tradition: a small, independent spot for naturists looking for a quiet base in wine country.

Crique naturiste de la Mirandole
Crique naturiste de la Mirandole is a clothing-optional cove tucked along the rocky Côte d'Azur coastline near Vallauris, between Cannes and Antibes. France's Mediterranean coast has hosted naturist beaches for decades, and this small crique (cove) is part of that tradition—quieter and less commercialized than some of the region's better-known naturist spots. The setting is typically Provençal: rocky shoreline, clear turquoise water, and the kind of sun that makes naturism feel natural rather than novel. Access usually involves a scramble over rocks or a coastal path; this isn't a beach with lifeguards, snack bars, or sunbed rentals. You'll find pebbles and rock slabs rather than sand, so bring something comfortable to sit on. The cove's small size means it fills up quickly on summer weekends, but weekdays and shoulder season often offer solitude. Vallauris itself is known for its pottery heritage—Picasso worked here—and the broader Golfe-Juan area sees plenty of tourism, though most visitors stick to the textile beaches. The naturist cove attracts people who prefer a more low-key, natural setting over the organized naturist resorts elsewhere in Provence. Water quality is generally good, and the rocky bottom makes for decent snorkeling when the sea is calm.

Espiguette naturist beach
Espiguette naturist beach lies along the wild, windswept shores of the Mediterranean near Le Grau-du-Roi, at the western edge of the Camargue delta. This stretch of sand is part of the Plage de l'Espiguette, a vast, dune-backed beach known for its raw beauty and relative isolation. The naturist section occupies a designated zone within this protected coastal area, recognized by the Fédération Française de Naturisme and marked by signage on arrival. The setting is dramatic: rolling sand dunes, scrubby coastal vegetation, and wide open sky. Unlike the groomed resort beaches farther east, Espiguette feels untamed. The beach is broad and long enough that naturists, textiles, and kite surfers coexist comfortably, each gravitating to their own zones. There are no facilities at the naturist section itself—no cafés, no umbrellas for rent—so come prepared with water, shade, and provisions. Access involves a walk across the dunes, which can be hot and sandy in summer but also part of the appeal. The reward is a sense of space and freedom rare on the crowded Côte d'Azur. Espiguette attracts naturists who value landscape over amenities, and who appreciate the elemental pleasure of sun, sea, and wind in a place that feels genuinely natural.

Plage de Bonnieu
Plage naturiste Martigues sits along the Côte Bleue, the rocky stretch of Mediterranean coastline west of Marseille. Part of the broader Plage de Bonnieu area, this naturist section occupies a pocket of the shore where the industrial port city of Martigues meets open water. France's legal framework for naturist beaches means you'll find clear signage and a well-established local understanding of the clothing-optional zone. The setting is less polished than purpose-built resorts — think pebble and mixed sand, with the occasional backdrop of harbor infrastructure visible in the distance. It's a working coast, not a postcard cove, which gives it a straightforward, no-frills character. Visitors come for the sun, the warm water, and the freedom to swim and relax without textile, not for amenities or manicured facilities. The Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region has dozens of naturist beaches, and this one serves the Martigues and western Marseille communities. Expect a quiet, local vibe outside of peak summer weekends. The Fédération Française de Naturisme lists it in regional directories, and it benefits from the same legal protections and social acceptance that French naturist beaches have enjoyed for decades.
