Hyères turns up on most naturist shortlists, and with reason. Hyères is the ferry port for Île du Levant, France's naturist island, and a warm base for a car-free clothes-free week.
The draw is straightforward: ferries to île du levant, salt flats and flamingos, sheltered giens peninsula beaches and toulon-hyères airport nearby. Begin with Héliopolis and work outwards.
Hyères sits in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, so it pairs easily with other naturist spots nearby.
