Hello!
We were back at the pool on March 11th after its half-yearly clean and the water was already heated to 27°C. Lately, we have participated in a lot of events organised elsewhere, some by us and some by other clubs. It’s always a pleasure to catch up with you far from Paris.
Events in March:
The Austrian ski week was a big success, with a mixture of Parisians, Marseillais and Brits. Our members returned intact and happy and are all looking forward to doing it again in 2020.
The swimming competition in Valence went well, in a very friendly atmosphere, and our members were very nicely welcomed.
On March 23rd we went to Ghent, where our friends from the Belgian Naturist Federation had privatised Lago, a massive water fun park. For 4 hours, along with over 500 naturists, we enjoyed the 50 metre pool, spas, steam room, saunas, restaurant…all naturist for the evening. It was a wonderful atmosphere with a warm welcome so typically Belgian. The following day we met up in Dilbeek, in a thermal spa centre near Brussels. If you missed this opportunity, don’t worry, as a new evening is organised at Lago Mons on Saturday 5th October.
While we were under water with the Belgians, 250 Parisians were dancing the night away at the second Beautiful Skin naturist dance party in the 11th arrondissement.
On March 30th, we were back in hot water, this time at the Balnéades in Orleans, where we met up with our Orleanais friends and other Parisians, including our friends from Naktivity. We will return again in November.
Upcoming events:
On Monday April 8th, come along to our water polo tournament at Roger Le Gall Swimming Pool. Access is open to everyone. For those who don’t wish to play, the pool will be divided in two for the session and you can swim in peace.
For more information on our outings, please take a look at the events page on our website or send us an email or an SMS on +33 7 66 14 53 09.
Monthly drinks – Wednesday April 3rd: The theme of this month’s drinks is sweet and savoury, which means that you can turn up with whatever you like, from a packet of chips to a calf’s head.
Closure: Please note that the pool and gym will be closed on Monday April 22nd for Easter as well as Tuesday April 30th and Wednesday May 1st for Mayday.
Payments: Our team of volunteers spends more and more time at the welcome desk and has little opportunity to enjoy the pool and other activities we provide. Don’t forget that we pay €140 per year like everyone. We’ve put an online payment system in place for you to renew your membership and your French Federation of Naturism licence. By paying at home, you reduce the team’s workload and it also allows you to avoid wasting your own time at the welcome desk. You can even make a donation to support the association’s actions and the organisation of big events.
Reopening of the naturist zone : The naturist zone of the Bois de Vincennes will open again on Saturday April 13th. Just like last year, it will be open for 6 months, until October 13th. We will organise numerous picnics this summer in the friendliest of atmospheres and in the best spirit of naturism.
From April 13th to 30th: 8am – 8:30pm
From May 1st to August 31st: 8am – 9:30pm
From September 1st to 30th: 8am – 8:30pm
From October 1st to 13th: 8am – 7pm
Naturistly,
Laurent
