NEFF
Naturist Europe Fact File?
Naturists Exploring Further aField?
Actually, it's the rest of the
world, but Naturist World Fact File is not pronounceable as an acronym. This is
the repository for anything received by the NUFF team about the rest of the world
and that appears to be of value.
We often receive requests from clothes optional recreation organisations
asking us to provide links to their own web pages. Unsurprisingly, you will find
these on our Links page. If you have any comments about any of these
links or wish to add further information please email them to:
neffupdate @ ada-augusta . demon . co . uk
We prefer to publish unsolicited reports about holiday experiences. These
are either sent to the team or gleaned from the uk.rec.naturist news-net
group. So if you have any comments about any of the report on the listed pages or wish to add further information
they will be most welcome. Please email them to:

France
The French are very aware of the potential for revenue from Naturism.
Anyone who thinks that they would rather avoid the more well known resorts
might like to try the French Tourist
Office website. From the 'Where to stay' menu select 'Naturist
centres'. Members of the Heritage Club (see this club's listing on the
main NUFF pages) write that they have gathered together comments, links and
pictures, largely
of France and Spain, most are already known, but not all. Of French beaches
they write, "We have also listed every official French beach we know about plus the
relevant links to the local town and access details where we have them." These may be found at
