Cap d’Agde – Naked City

Cap d’Agde – Naked City

Author: Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park October 14, 2021 Duration: 1:23:14

Since the resort town was built in the 1960’s, it has been promoted as the ultimate naturist destination; a place where you can fully live clothesfree and all modern services and conveniences are available. While this area of the city of Agde is officially known as the “Quartier Naturiste” (naturist neighbourhood) it is also often described simply as the “naked city”. In the last few decades it has also been heavily criticised for the open sexuality and preponderance of swingers’ clubs. So is it naturist? We asked Nick and Lins of Naked Wanderings and Dan Carlson, also known as Naturist Dan, of the Meandering Naturist blog about their experiences.

Hosted by the team at Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park, The Naturist Living Show offers a thoughtful and often surprising look at what it means to live as a naturist. While the social aspects of nudity are part of the conversation, this podcast digs much deeper into the philosophy behind the lifestyle.

The conversations are grounded in real experience and a sense of community, moving beyond simple definitions. Tune in for a candid exploration of body acceptance, intentional living, and the freedom found in natural simplicity.
