All three of those sites are good, although there is no camping at La Jenny - only chalets for hire.

A similar question came up on the BN forum this week, and there was plenty of support for Montalivet.

I received a promotional email from Socnat advising that early bookings (made before 31 January '16) will attract a discount of 25% at Montalivet for spring/summer holidays. Also for other sites in their group: La Genese, Le Clapotis, Les Aillos, and Le Petite Arlane.

My experience from staying at both Euronat and CHM Montalivet is that both are very good.
When camping we always used to stay at CHM as it was an easy walk into the seaside town of Montalivet where there are plenty of seaside shops, cafés and restaurants together with a daily market which includes both an excellent local food section and a large tourist tat area.
Now we are too old for camping we find the more suburban atmosphere of Euronat more in line with our requirements.

Another place to consider is Arnachout, which is further south down the west coast of France, so the weather tends to be a bit warmer at the start and end of the season.

Arna has chalets, caravans and camping.

For both La Jenny & Arna though, you either need to use the on-site shop or make a long trip out to the nearest supermarket to get food at a cheaper price.

Many people stock up at a supermarket on the way in.

I saw some worried posts on a French naturist forum that three shops are for sale at Euronat; some were wondering if perhaps the people running those shops might know something that we don't.
It turns out, talking to people who know the place well, that this number is not unusual and certainly not unheard of. There are altogether 17 independent shops within Euronat, and a certain turnover is to be expected every year. It also turns out that one of those going (the tobacconist) is selling his shop because he is retiring.

Euronat shops for sale eh? Got to say that does sound tempting [except I'd only want to open in the evening!]

We recommend Euronat

We used to go to Montalivet (CHM) every year since 1968, but have recently changed to Euronat, mainly because we got fed up of getting our camper stuck in the sand !  The good sites are being gradually taken over by chalets/mobile homes.  We like Euronat a lot.

Hi All
Sorry if this is in the wrong section I was unable to start a topic in have you been there ?

We have our holiday booked from work - awaiting confirmation of mine
Last year we went to Euronat and had a great time
looking round the web we found La Jenny and are wondering if we should re visit Euronat again or try La Jenny ??

we enjoyed the walk to the beach, being able to spend the day naked including the shopping etc
not too worried about night life

any thoughts gratefully received

Am also toying up between Euronat and Montalivet. Went to Euronat last year and had an amazing time so I think I'll probably play it safe and go there again this summer.

We very rarely return to the same place twice when holidaying as we like exploring new places...one exception is Euronat where we've been 5 times as we love the place so much. Can't comment on how it compares to the other two but we love the fact it is self-contained so need to leave or dress for days on end plus great pool and beach.

Yup booked a week back in Euronat in the last week of August.

The whole area is at risk at the moment from a Panamanian cargo ship drifting towards the coast in heavy seas. Although the ship's cargo should not pollute (it's mainly timber), the ship's tanks hold about 300 tons of oil for the ship's engines and it is feared that the tanks may be damaged when the ship hits the coast. It's a very small quantity of oil by the standards of oil spills, but emergency measures are nevertheless taken. It seems that the ship should run aground quite a long way South, probably closer to Arnaoutchot than to the Euronat/Montalivet area.

  Evening all,

  Just been reading they have now got a rope attached and are now towing the cargo ship away from the French coast. Too close for comfort if you ask me.
