Re：thonging in France Date Posted：06/18/2018 09:06:36Copy HTML Les sables d'olonne is not the best place in France for thonging.On the atlantic coast, you can split french coast in 2 parts.At the north of the river "gironde" it is quite conservative.At the south, between bordeaux to biarritz, it is veryopen minded.However, even if sables d'olonne is a conservative place, you can thong without any problems but a conservative thong is better. And you will be probably the unique thonger

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：06/18/2018 03:39:11Copy HTML I was on holiday in that region several times and am planning to go there again in august/september.Two years ago I was in Brem sur Mer (about 10-12 km's north of Les Sables D'Olonne).
I only wore thongs when on the beach, never a bikini suit. Did also some nice long beach walks in just a thong, no problem.But don't expect to see much fellow thongers. Unfortunately thongers are in the minority. Earlier I was in Longeville sur Mer. The same overthere. Very little thong wearers but no problems wearing one.Both Brem sur Mer and Longeville sur Mer have rather wide and long beaches; ideal for beach walks.There are crowded parts (with beach restaurants and life guards) and more quiet parts. I think I will go to a camp-site just north of Les Sables this year. |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：06/18/2018 04:54:11Copy HTML I was wearing a micro g-string at a beach in Cap d'Agde and was told to remove it because that location was a nude beach. They handed me a flyer that said that by wearing textile to a nude beach could potentially lead to the beach to become a textile only one.
Good point. I obliged and had a lot of fun. |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：06/19/2018 04:52:53Copy HTML Cap d'Agde is completely different. It is a beach where almost everything is tolerated (not allowd).I was there a couple of times also. I was at the beach which is between the family beach and the nude beach. Thong wearing was no problem over there.The closer to the nude beach the more extreme it gets. It is not a 'normal' nude beach in Cap d'Agde. You have to be rather open minded not to get offended. I can imagine not everybody likes what he or she is seeing over there.

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：06/19/2018 04:55:28Copy HTML True, there is ongoing tension between the "pure" nudists and the swingers. There's a lot of open sexual activity on the far end of the beach the likes of which would not be tolerated anywhere else, and they have a nightclub atmosphere in the evenings catering to lifestyle folks. So it is not like anywhere else. However, the main nude beach during the day is pretty normal, similar to a Gunnison or something, though very busy and you basically never see anyone wearing clothes. The three days I spent at Cap D'Agde were some of the best I ever had.

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：09/03/2018 05:07:19Copy HTML Hi all,
I'm just back from another summer holiday in France. We were in the Vendee region again. Only a few miles from an earlier visit. We were at Longeville sur Mer.
Our camp-site is stituated only 500 meter from the nearest beach. There is a lot to choose; there is about 10km's of beach. Both very crowded parts with beach restaurants and surf schools, but also more quiet parts. I don't like the crowded parts, so I take a 5 or 10 minutes walk before laying out. Plenty of beach for a nice long beach walk.
I did a few long beach walks in just a poser thong and had two short but nice coversations with other beach visitors.
I even noticed another guy in a thong! Very nice not being the only guy in a thong. Unfortunately I only saw this guy once passing by. I was hoping to meet this guy the other day and talk about thonging.
All in all it was a nice holiday at a very nice and clean beach. I'm sure it wasn't my last holiday in that region!

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：02/02/2019 07:37:30Copy HTML My favourite part of france is Normandy and it's coast . Although I haven't hit the beaches there for that sort of holiday , having mainly concentrated on the history does anyone have any advice about where is a good comfortable place to go . I am thinking of the cotentin penisular and around the Bayeux area . Thanks .

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：02/02/2019 07:04:07Copy HTML Out of respect I would not dare to be in a thong on the Normandy beaches where the landings took place. I have visited the beaches more to the north, like St Valery when I was on a bike vacation. I prefer the much wider beaches of the Nord/Pas de Calais and Picardy region My favorite beaches are between tha Canche and Somme rivers. |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：02/02/2019 08:19:00Copy HTML Nobody in France is going to object to your thonging just because it was a WWII landing beach.
WWII was fought all across Europe and over most of Northern and Central France. WWI was too. If you want to pay respect, don't thong in the cemeteries.
People wear thongs on the beaches of Dunkirk, Italy, and Greece, where there were also landings and battles.

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：07/01/2019 07:53:35Copy HTML Since 3 or 4 fours, i observed that there was more and more women who wear cheeky swimsuit. And the swimsuit are more and more cheeky.
This week, we had a heat wave, and thefe was a lot of persons at the beach ans at the swimming pools.
I had never seen so many thongs of all my life. Just yesterday, i have seen at least 50 women with thongs, at abeach where it was difficult to see 1 or 2 thongs 5 years ago.
The main difference is women are totally comfortable with their thongs. They are in family or with a group of friends (men and women), walkedon the beach, etc.
It is a huge gap this year from last years.
At my swimming pool, i noticed 3 lifeguards who were in thong swimsuit during their breaks.
They were totally comfortable to walk in the swimming pool in front of the crowd, and especially in front of their co-workers (men lifeguards) !
I would not have believed, one week ago, that women lifeguards would have the nerve to thong at their work place, in front of their co-worker.
It shows that thongs are now totally accepted and normal.
Unluckily, what is true for women is not true for men.

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：07/01/2019 09:24:10Copy HTML @stringeur - When we were in Italy recently, I noticed that the majority of girls (of all ages up to say 40s) were in thongs or cheeky styles. It also appeared that more guys in 20s & 30s wore the Italian version of speedos and younger guys wore shorter shorts. Progress?

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：10/28/2021 04:33:41Copy HTML Are there any public/private places in the center of France? Near Lyon preferably? |
| stringueur | #114 |
|
|
Re：thonging in France Date Posted：10/28/2021 04:56:18Copy HTML Which type of places are you looking for ? And how far from Lyon ? What season ?
I live near from Lyon so I can give you some good places. It depends on what you are looking for.
During summer, you have the "miribel lake" (5 km from Lyon).
In Lyon, you can thong at the "Tony bertrand" swimming pool (50m outdoor, open all the year).
Warning : only conservative thongs are allowed. |
| UpstateThonger | #115 |
|
|
Re：thonging in France Date Posted：10/28/2021 07:35:20Copy HTML I don’t know. Maybe a hotel, club, or spa? I’ll be more southwest of Lyon, but I think I can go anywhere.
Conservative thongs are so boring though! ;) |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：10/03/2022 07:31:55Copy HTML Hi Travelling to France in November and I wanted to check for indoor places I could thong at . Is it ok to thong at municipal/public pools ? |
| stringueur | #117 |
|
|
Re：thonging in France Date Posted：10/03/2022 09:12:24Copy HTML It depends on the pools, and it depends on the thongs.
Most of the pools tolerate thongs if the thong is correct (no seethrough, no missile bulge, etc.)
So it is OK.
Tell me where you go, and I could give you tips. |
| DOnygaurnath | #118 |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：10/17/2022 08:18:28Copy HTML Ooh that's amazing !
I was thinking of Piscine Blomet and Piscine Therese et Jeane . Basically looking for a public pool where I could swim and chill.
Also, what is the changing room situation generally? I know it's mixed but I don't know how things are . |
| DOnygaurnath | #119 |
|
|
Re：thonging in France Date Posted：10/17/2022 08:20:46Copy HTML And I'm not planning on wearing anything extreme either . Just a desmiit thong or a Tanga brief if they don't allow a thong. |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：10/17/2022 08:53:23Copy HTML If you go to Paris swimming pools, don't forget your swim cap. Swim cap is compulsory and boardshort are forbidden.
However you need to be very brave for swimming with Paris citizens. They are so... well... agressive...
If you can, go to aquaboulevard. A must do.
Be careful : with energy crisis, most of the pools are colder than usual (water is 1 or 2°C less than usual) and some pools may be closed. |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：10/18/2022 07:49:06Copy HTML Got it ! So just to confirm, it is ok to wear a thong at the Paris Public Pool right ? |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：10/18/2022 10:37:18Copy HTML I really don't think so

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：10/18/2022 08:21:44Copy HTML I just checked the rules for Paris pools. Nothing about thongs.
So, if thongs are not forbidden...they are probably OK.
However, rules are strict about swim caps, boarshort and shirt. |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：10/19/2022 07:59:09Copy HTML Point noted . I will personally enquire before I whip out my butt in the thong too :).

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：04/19/2023 07:16:29Copy HTML Booked my summer holiday to France a few weeks ago. Will stay for two weeks at the Vendee region again. Nice wide, sandy beaches. Plenty of beach to do a nice long beachwalk in just a thong. Booked a camping just 200 meters from the beach. Looking forward to it. |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：04/22/2023 01:26:10Copy HTML Booked my camping trip to CHM Montalivet for 8-22 July. It’s a naturist site with direct beach access. Plenty of opportunities to tan naked both inside the camp and on the beach.
Crossing textile beaches either side of the resort you need to wear something so I usually put on a thong or Rio suit then remove it again when away from the textile beach goers.
Plenty opps for naked hiking along the beach or to wear a thong if that’s your desire.
Anyone else going to be there on those dates please send me a private message so we can get together for a drink and chat at the very least. |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：04/23/2023 10:07:26Copy HTML That is not too far from where I will stay. However my stay is in June.
There are very nice, wide beaches in the Gironde region.
Have a nice holiday! |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：05/15/2023 12:09:35Copy HTML Salut.
I forgot to write back and its been ages since I've logged back in. Are there any nice private places outside near Saint Etienne? |
| stringueur | #129 |
|
|
Re：thonging in France Date Posted：05/16/2023 06:20:54Copy HTML Sorry, I don't know a lot Saint Etienne.
However, in this area, I can give you "MTP" (Must Thong Places), but a little far from Saint Etienne (may be during week-end days).
- Annecy and his lake : very beautiful place. You must visit annecy and you can thong then on the lake. Very touristic place, but it worth it.
- ardeche canyon : a MSTplace. you can do canoe and thong anywhere. On the list, the "chauvet cavern" is a must do.
You need a car and may be 2 or 3 hours drive but this places worth the drive. |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：06/17/2023 10:25:21Copy HTML I'm on holiday in France again, and settled in the Vendee region again. Since it's still early in the season, there are not too many tourists yet. On the camping I'm staying, only about 30% of the 'mobile homes' and tent pitches is booked. My mobile home has a veranda and since the camping is just partly booked, there is not very much 'traffic' passing by. So I can wear a thong when sitting on my veranda. Not to offend other camping guests, I only stand up when no one is passing by. The beach is just about 200 meters from the camping. The beach is wide, sandy and ideal for beach walking in a thong. Up till now I haven't seen others guys wearing thongs. Ladies/girls in thongs or cheeky swimwear are quite common this year. This afternoon I will hit the beach again and I only take a few thong in my bag, no bikini's. Hope I'm not the only guy in a thong this time! |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：06/20/2023 08:08:37Copy HTML Up till now, unfortunately, I have not seen any other guy in a thong on the beach. Did a nice long beach walk of about 2 hours, in a thong of course, along the shore-line this afternoon. It was a moderate temperature, no wind at all. Perfect for a thong beach walk. Every now and then a stopped to just sit down and stare over the Atlantic ocean; very relaxing. No comments on my thong. |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：06/25/2023 05:10:46Copy HTML On the way home from my holiday in France. Never wore my thongs that much as during last two weeks! Awesome. It was still rather quiet on the beaches, because the summer holidays haven't started yet. Also on the campsite much free pitches and mobile-homes. Saw quite a bit girls and women in thongs. Unfortunately I was the only guy in a thong.
Had no comments on wearing a thong on the beach. It was fun, this thong-holiday. |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：07/21/2023 05:41:28Copy HTML Thanks a bunch for the tips @stringueur and nice updates, @navythong. I haven't been able to get out and about as well. Funny enough, I just moved into a new apartment in town with a private terrace, but unfortunately its in a courtyard surrounded by many buildings and other residents. Going to do more exploring out in the countryside to at least get my tan line going again! |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：05/03/2024 03:29:53Copy HTML In 5 weeks I will be on holiday in France again. I booked three weeks this time.
Will bring all my thongs and will wear them as much as possible.
Hope there will be some others guys in a thong this year.
I will keep you informed (every now and then) |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：05/04/2024 08:54:50Copy HTML Yes, Vendee is my favorite region. Long, wide beaches. Lots of cycling possibilities also. I choose smaller camp-sites, I don't like very crowded places. The camp site I'm going to is only 200m from the nearest beach. Will make long beach-walks (in thong of coarse!) In june there is plenty of space everywhere. |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：05/13/2024 07:04:21Copy HTML Went to Ardèche this weekend and it reminded me of this thread, @stringueur! le Grotte Chauvet was pretty amazing and I can’t believe it’s a reproduction. It’s so well made!
I’m actually going back to the area in July. I wanted to ask if there was a specific place where you can tan in a thong friendly area or just the area in general. I found the nudist club Plage des Templliers but not sure if they do day passes or if textiles if any sort is frowned upon in general. |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：05/13/2024 10:42:34Copy HTML @UpstateThonger
Glad you enjoyed grotte chauvet.
In France, we have few cloting optional beaches. Beaches are nudist or textil. Thongers are not welcome on a nudist beach.
If you come back to Ardeche, you can thong everywhere. Canyon is a very touristic place, with a lot of Europeans. You won't have issue.
If you do canoe in the canyon, you have to wear your life jacket. Police fine those who don't wear it.
So you can do canoe with your thong and your life jacket.
@MNluvthongs
Thonging in not an issue in France. However, on some places, there are a lot of rednecks or north african muslims. For a good experience, it is better to avoid this places like some mediterranee beaches. |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：05/19/2024 09:16:25Copy HTML @stringueur is right. As open as France is and besides the fact that bikinis and boxer brief type swimsuits are obligatory in practically all public and private swimming pools, some still look down and make fun of minimal swimsuit. At the water park in Ardèche, I was one of the only ones to wear a bikini swimsuit. I could tell groups were contemplating being rude, but I think the fact I’m larger and a bit more athletic than most, they all chickened out. So if that’s how they view bikinis, you can imagine what some would think of thongs even in France.
It’s been raining like crazy for the past month but later this week I’m going to drive around and try to find a secluded spot along a stream or something. The sun just feels so good when it’s out! |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：09/27/2024 01:36:54Copy HTML Was in Cassis (near Marseille) recently, town beaches - mostly shorts on male and only a few in briefs or square cut. Females predominantly in thong or cheeky suits - some in very tiny strings. Quite a lot of topless too. All very laid back and relaxed.
Just out of town easy to be nude as I was without any problems.
Nice vibe. |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：06/07/2025 06:42:53Copy HTML I’m on holiday near plage l’espiguette this year. The beach is directly accesable from the capsite! This beach is huge, you have to walk 10-15 minutes to reach the sea. Lots of space for everyone. Haven’t seen any other guys then myself in a thong. As soon as a leave the campsite I take of my shorts and I only put it back on when entering the campsite again.
I think I will try another part of the beach to see if there are other thong-guys. |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：08/11/2025 02:11:09Copy HTML Staying in Old Town Nice for 10 days, probably 1/3 of women in cheeky or thong bikinis a few topless, no men. Barely any men in square cuts or briefs. Lots of women wearing see through clothing walking around with visible thong undergarments. I brought a few conservative thongs, but I am going to wear some briefs.
Lots to do, see and eat. We have sun bed reservations for another 3 days.
I am surprised at the trash that is strewn about daily. It takes an army to clean this place up daily. Far more homeless here than Lyon and Frankfurt were were earlier this month. |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：08/11/2025 03:59:26Copy HTML Just try a thong, preferably on your first day. If people have a problem don't do it again, but if you find it fun and people don't object, do it again.
There are many posts by men who say they spent the first few days getting comfortable with the location before trying out a thong towards the end of their stay - Only to say they wish they thonged on the first day.
When in Spain most women were in thongs or very cheeky bikinis, with a good number of them topless. Like you I am frequently the only man in a thong. Like most people I was at first a bit nervous about reactions. Quickly learned nobody really cared and the sky did not fall.
Some of the women liked my thong and smiled warmly. Some of the men ignored me. Some who spoke English told me they envided my bravery, or words to that affect.
I am sure a few groups of old men muttered to each other, but since I did not understand them it did not raise my heckles so I didn't take offence.
Thonging in a foreign land has its advantages. You have the other key to a free pass, you are on the beach with someone else so not seen as a lone wolf. Be brave and go for it. |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：08/11/2025 09:49:31Copy HTML Nice is very international with its airport. A lot of englishs which explain the "promenade des anglais".
As it is international, lot of women with thong (and men with boardshorts).
However, you can thong easily because foreign tourists don't make comments. |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：08/14/2025 04:05:52Copy HTML Just got back from my French vacation. Had a few mini vacations during that time. Went to Palavas in the south and there were a few nude beaches nearby, but the parking situation was so bad that I didn't go to any of them because I had just a great parking spot.
But spent the time on the beach in a tiny bikini/speedo so that was good. Was going to thong it if I saw anyone else the first day, but not as much and there were a lot of families there so didn't risk it. But next year I'm definitely going to make some time somewhere! |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：08/14/2025 04:20:25Copy HTML In France and Spain parking near popular beaches is often an issue. Even if you arrive at dawn you may find parking limited to a couple of hours. However there may be free or low cost municipal parking in town a little way from the beach. Look for "gratuit" or "gratis" municipal parking and then walk from there.
Another approach is to do the last mile or two by bus. Popular beaches are often serviced by bus, so locals can go without a car. Be like a local. Have a beach bag and walk or bus the final segment.
Many European cities have interactive websites and apps for public transportation. |

Re：thonging in France Date Posted：08/14/2025 05:44:21Copy HTML Update about a week in- I did wear a thong today. I saw one male in a thong yesterday and decided it was time. I wore a Jor swim g string as it is pretty modest from the front and wouldn’t be that noticeable laying on my back.
Felt pretty good, I put a lot of sunscreen on as I have a severe farmers tan, some of these parts haven’t seen daylight in years. I will probably continue to wear thongs for the next week. I have nothing crazy. I have a grand axis and a clever swim thong with me.
I always travel with thong underwear only, easier to pack in a smaller bag. 1/3 the space of boxers. |
