CHM Montalivet, Naturist resort in Vendays-Montalivet, France
The naturist center extends across 200 hectares of pine forest near the Atlantic Ocean, featuring 3,000 camping spots divided into 21 distinct villages.
Founded in 1950 by Albert Lecocq, CHM Montalivet became the birthplace of the International Naturist Federation in 1953, marking a fundamental change in organized naturism.
The Museum Albert & Christiane Lecocq presents the evolution of naturism through photographs, documents, and artifacts that detail the movement's development over time.
Visitors can choose between mobile homes, chalets, camping pitches, and ready-set tents, with direct access to a naturist beach and water park with four slides.
The center maintains 12 kilometers of internal roads connecting different villages, where 200 seasonal staff members coordinate activities from yoga to sports competitions.
