In France, the naturist community celebrates the holidays with a blend of classic French customs and the lifestyle's core values of freedom and body positivity

- Apéro: Vin chaud (mulled wine) and saucisson (dried sausage). Eating charcuterie in the nude requires a napkin on the lap. It is a skill.
- Entrée: Oysters and escargots. There is something deeply primal about slurping a shellfish with nothing between you and the sea's bounty but a lemon wedge.
- Plat Principal: A slow-cooked cassoulet or coq au vin. Heavy, hot, and hearty. The steam rising from the plate matches the steam rising from the windows.
- Fromage: A platter of Camembert, Roquefort, and Brie. The room temperature ensures the cheese is perfectly runny.
- Dessert: The Bûche de Noël (Yule log cake). Watching a dozen naked people sing "Joyeux Noël" while cutting a log-shaped cake is a moment of surreal, beautiful joy.
The celebration takes place at a secluded, picturesque resort in the French countryside, surrounded by rolling hills and dense forests. The resort, specifically designed for nudist events, offers a safe and welcoming environment for participants to relax and enjoy the festivities.
