The domain of Lalaurie in the French area of Périgord is for sale.
Its current owners, Francis and Yonnie Toutain, are planning to retire; they bought the farmhouse there 39 years ago and turned it into a deiightful, much appreciated family naturist resort over 17 acres.
The owners are very much looking for a naturist buyer - but the history of recent sales of naturist sites in France makes it a real possibility that it will be snapped up by one of the giant firms in the area of (textile) camping sites.
I have no idea what the asking price is, in case any member of NC is ready to make a bid!
Wow, that looks a very stunning place and a pity if it cannot be maintained, now if I was 30 years younger....
Hello Jacques
Thanks for the information.
Sue and I stayed there a few years ago on a Suntrecker rally - a very attractive site.
As you have indicated, recent history suggests there could be a serious risk it may not remain naturist. Although I believe Domaine de la Gagère changed hands not so long ago when the former owners retired, and it has remained naturist. So fingers crossed it might be the same for Lalaurie.
Sunny regards, Mike
Thank you for that information Jacques.
Judging by recent history on other sites it looks like we should book next year's holiday soon it we want to stay there again.

Do not do unto others as you would that they should do unto you. Their tastes may not be the same.

oh no , we have stayed at Laulurie for over 20 years , and francis and Yonnie are a lovely couple , but I remember 3 years ago Francis asking me " would you like to buy Laulurie " oh I wish I could have done . We used to run the Suntrecker rallies there.I wish them well , and a long and happy retirement .
