unique naturist "hike-in" campground. (Campground guests send their gear down via a ski-lift type contraption since there is no direct

| This very popular flooded quarry north of Strasbourg lies next to the Rhine River at the German border. Swimming is
technically forbidden, but throngs of nude sunbathers gather here nonetheless. This site is reminiscent of the small quarry lakes
(baggerseen) that are popular nudist areas in Germany. |

Bois de Vincennes [A]
48.8326N, 2.4364E
[int]
| The Bois de Vincennes is a huge forest park in the far east of Paris but within the city proper. Near the geographic center of the park, there is a hidden meadow that has long been frequently by naturists rather discreetly, but the practice of naturism was officially santioned beginning in August 2017, making it the first and only public location in Paris where nudity can legally be practiced. Core visitors are gay men, but the crowd has become a bit more diverse since nudity was legalized. The meadow is just a place for nude sunbathing since there is no water for swimming. |
