Imagine arriving on a quiet Mediterranean island
 only to realise that everyone around you is naked. That was my experience when I finally agreed to join a university friend on a naturist island in France.

In this episode of English and Beyond: Intermediate Edition, I share:

  • My awkward first moments on the island
  • The surprising rules (sarongs in the streets if you want, but nudity required on the beaches and hiking trails)
  • The surreal details, like ordering bread at the boulangerie from a topless waitress
  • A short history of naturism in France and Germany, and how it never really caught on in the UK
  • What I learned from speaking to other visitors - including one man who overcame body-image fears and found freedom in naturism
  • And why it took me a whole week to truly relax

This is NOT a story about scandal. It’s a cultural exploration of naturism as a lifestyle, told from the perspective of someone who remains very much happier with clothes on.

Perfect for English learners:

  • Clear, natural British English
  • Engaging storytelling with real vocabulary in context
