Hi,
Someone must love us! For the reopening of the Paris Naturist Park, the sun was beaming, to the point that we’re already well tanned. Picnics, sports, conviviality…the season is off to a good start.
This month, we’re offering you another cultural visit to mark the start of a great season.
Events in April:
After months of planning, the big day has come and gone. Our full day of swimming was a huge success. We were over twice as numerous than we’d imagined for this first edition, in a fun, festive and sporty atmosphere. Thanks go to all the participants, especially to those who came from all over France, from Germany, Portugal, the UK and the United States! A big thanks to our American friends for the very generous door prize of a Eurostar ticket, won by Jean-Luc at the evening’s dinner. There too, we were a big crowd – perhaps a little too big, given the size of the restaurant – but still in the same atmosphere of conviviality.
The sun was out for the opening weekend of the naturist zone of the Bois de Vincennes. There were loads of people, especially on the Sunday for the yoga and qigong class and the picnic. These classes – offered for free by the ANP to anyone who wants to join in – will continue every Sunday until the end of the season in October.
Stéphane organised an excellent trip to Marseille, with more participants than initially imagined. I thank the l’Association Naturiste Phocéenne for the welcome they gave the Parisians.
Upcoming events:
On Monday May 2nd (tomorrow), there’s a special ANP afternoon/evening at Aqua Saint Paul, from 2pm till 8pm. On presentation of your ANP membership card, you will benefit from the reduced tariff of just €20 (instead of €45). Please also bring something for the friendly drinks.
4-6 rue Saint-Paul 75004 Paris
Métro Saint-Paul (line 1) or Pont Marie (line 7)
The next Beautiful Skin dance party is on Friday May 6th. And after a night on the dance floor, come and get some culture…
On Saturday May 7th at 9:30am, for the third year running, the Fiminco Foundation is opening its doors to naturists for the Jeune Création exhibition 2022, where the works of 49 young artists of this year’s selection will be displayed.
Free reservation
Every Wednesday, Stéphane is organising a day of Nordic walking and a hike, with a picnic break between the two.
All of our members will receive an invitation to our Annual General Meeting in a few days. This year, we will be at the Club Gymnique de France in Villecresnes, on Saturday May 28th.
For a holiday in the sun at the end of the season, Grottamiranda is welcoming the ANP from Saturday October 1st – 8th at a special price. You won’t regret staying in this lovely naturist resort on the south of Italy.
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: For our monthly gathering at Roger Le Gall on Monday May 9th,the theme will be “tapas”, which gives you a very wide choice of small dishes and drinks to share. The date coincides with the reopening of the pool.
Gym, yoga and Pilates classes: Our different classes attract a large number of participants each night. The coaches ask simply that you arrive on time for the warm up and that we don’t go over the maximum number of people we can fit in the space. Unfortunately, we can’t push the walls out any further. To ensure your places, please send us an email at the beginning of each week.

Massage: Unfortunately, Michel can no longer travel to lend us his hands each Wednesday. We are therefore currently without a masseur and all the upcoming reservations (until June) are cancelled.
Closure: Roger Le Gall swimming pool is closed at the moment for maintenance, until Friday May 6th. As always, the gym remains open for our members with up to date membership. Our normal activities will resume on Monday May 9th.
Naturist Park of Paris: As I said higher up, the ANP organises yoga and gym classes in the naturist zone of the Bois de Vincennes every Sunday at 11:30am. These classes are free and open to all and are followed by a friendly picnic. It’s an opportunity for those who don’t know us to enjoy some sport and to make new friends.
