It was on this date that André and Gaston Durville founded the village of Héliopolis. Considered the cradle of naturism, you can live nude all year round in this little corner of paradise.
WIKIPEDIA: Île du Levant » | Levant Island »
I have been to this island — twice. In two consecutive summers. I had gone down to the South of France, to a language school in Hyères, which is in the Var. I went there two years running to learn, and improve, my French.
I stayed with a delightful and very welcoming French husband and wife. One day, the lady of the house suggested I pay Île du Levant a visit. (I wonder why? 😊) I was alone in France, so I was a little anxious about going there, as I had never been to a nudist colony before. However, I decided to act on her sound advice. How glad I was! I had a fabulous day in the sun. And parts of me were introduced to the sun for the very first time! 😊
Each time, I was on the beautiful island only for the day. But they are days I shall never forget. If ever you get the chance to go there, don’t miss it! It’s all very tastefully executed. — © Mark Alexander
