From the Local:
France has long been regarded as one of the world’s leading destinations for naturism, and recent figures suggest it’s becoming increasingly popular - particularly among younger people.
According to a 2025 Ipsos survey conducted for the French Naturist Federation, the number of people practising naturism in France has risen from 2.5 million a decade ago to an estimated 3.7 million today.
With all these surveys, I have never been asked, has anyone?
You never know where this sort of thing might lead 
Oh Caberet, oh Caberet, oh Caberet.
Guess I’m more of an ‘Oh cabernet!’ kinda guy…
There are loads of places for naked swimming on the Cam, frequented for centuries but only by men obv.
Rather an “Oh, matron” topic heading.
There’s a place on the Cherwell at Headington close to Oxford known as Parsons Pleasure that was a nudist colony for a long time.
Keep it up Plod 
CPS will say it won’t stand up in court.
That’s hard to believe 
It would be a pro boner case
Followed by a stiff sentence
Coincidentally, I’ve developed a bit of an interest in the artist Stanley Roy Badmin (I like a nice watercolour) and I’ve my eye on one of his in the Chris Beetles gallery….
but there’s another one I noticed which might, despite being Oxford, fit your description…
Not my cup of tea 
Parson’s Pleasure an area next to the path to Mesopotamia that runs alongside the river Cherwell in the south east corner of the Oxford University Parks.
Parson’s Pleasure was traditionally a secluded area for male-only nude bathing, often frequented by university dons. To protect both the men bathing and ladies in passing punts, the area was screened by a high corrugated fence and a track with rollers which allowed for the ladies’ punts to be hauled from the Cherwell and over the rollers, so bypassing the embarrassment of both the swimmers and the passing ladies.
Parson’s Pleasure became part of Oxford folklore and is often referred to in contemporary literature. In 1923, Christopher Morley wrote about its charms in a poem (Parsons’ Pleasure, New York: George H Doran Company, 1923) and Anthony Gibbs, in his autobiography In My Time (London: Peter Davies, 1969), describes Parson’s Pleasure as ‘The most enchanting spot in Oxford’ and that often one punt each afternoon would pass with girls ‘scarlet-faced and staring straight before them, would meander by. They did it on purpose, of course. No one paid them the slightest attention. Absolute disdain was the code of behaviour.’
Although the area closed in 1991, its name continues to live on, a local brewery’s ‘Parson’s Pleasure Ale’ and also the Parson’s Pleasure Surprise Maximus, a complex method of change ringing, performed on 12 church bells (2010).
Great piece of history. 1991 closure, I wonder what caused that?
Naturism is just a word bandied about by people with no clothes.
I have clothes.
The old nude area (males only) of University Parks (Parson’s Pleasure) was closed (temporarily/until further notice) in 1991, by Oxford University due to some of the trees being declared unsafe.
Perhaps/presumably there will have been discussions re costs and “do we really need this facility nowadays” ??? … (just me wondering)… 'cos it never re-opened.
So do I and I’m keeping them on.
Then, if you are not body-beautiful, please put them on.
