EURONAT OPENED in 1976, a few miles up the road from Montalivet which had just started bursting at its seams! Larger than its neighbour, but with fewer holidaymakers, Euronat is not spoilt by overcrowding. It is a well established naturist holiday and residential resort with an excellent reputation. Naturism is compulsory, weather permitting.
It is built in extensive grounds among pine trees and on sandy soil - which makes an ideal beach just across the dunes and also makes grapes grow well in the vast vineyards behind. This region of France is the Médoc. The wine villages of St Estephe and Margaux, and the vineyards of Château Lafite and Château Mouton-Rothschild, are just a short drive across the headland.
FACILITIES The shopping comprises of three supermarkets, four restaurants and a snack bar, a take-away (French-style), butcher, bakery, fishmonger, off-licence, boutique, bank, launderette, newsagent, bicycle hire, amusement arcade, and also a sports shop and direct-dial public telephones. A free Kindergarten operates in July and August for children aged 3-7 years.
Euronat is one of the few naturist centres in Europe to have an indoor heated swimming pool. It measures 95ft by 40ft and is one of the main attractions. There is also an open-air fun pool with water slide. Euronat also has a purpose built health centre with qualified staff offering sauna, relaxation massage, muscle toning, gymnastics, aerobics, UVA sun bed and hydrotherapy facilities. Sports activities include tennis, volleyball, riding, archery, boules, minigolf, table tennis, judo, basketball and football. There are also handicraft workshops.
Sports competitions are held from time to time, as are party nights with audience participation and barbecues. During July and August concerts, shows and dancing evenings are held in the big top and (mainly) French language films are also shown. There are restaurants and wine bars in the vicinity, outside the grounds.
THE BEACH One and a half miles of the almost endless sandy beach are reserved for nude swimming and sunbathing. At times, the Atlantic produces waves several feet high turning the beach into a surfers’ paradise. Lifeguards are on duty from mid June until mid September, and there is a first aid post.
