‘World’s first swingers campsite’ on sale for £1.7 million in France

The world’s first swingers campsite in central France has been put on the market for about £1.7 million.

‘First 100 percent libertine campsite in the world for sale. Incredible opportunity with over 20 million libertines identified in northern Europe and 6.5 million in France,’ Thelocal.fr  quoted estate agents as saying.

Agents said the park – near the spa resort of Vichy – ‘promises to be a good investment given France’s and indeed northern Europe’s booming libertine community’. 

The campsite includes an outdoor swimming pool with ‘cuddle corners’ around it

Reviews of the campsite are mixed with some describing it as a paradise but others complaining that its rules are too rigid

Also on the site is a a ‘naughty wood’ where libertines can go for a stroll under the trees or partake in any other physical activity they fancy

The campsite was bought by libertine Francoise Vetter and her husband four years ago and converted into a swingers-only getaway.

According to the ad on estate agent Leggett Immobilier the campsite is ‘situated on almost five hectares [where] there are 21 mobile homes, two Bengali tents and a caravan’. 

It also has a big sanitary block, four chalets, a licenced bar and a restaurant with more than 60 seats under a big tent.

Ms Vetter told The Local that in the first year as a themed campsite she saw a 118 percent increase in turnover.

Estate agents say any buyer of the site would be foolish not to run it as a libertine site given its business potential

The campsite offers people the chance ‘get to know everyone’, its seller said, in quiet, beautiful and secluded countryside

‘We have guests from all over Europe, Holland, Belgium, Britain, Germany and we also get Australians and Americans here. There is enormous potential for the campsite,’ she said. 

‘We are selling it because we have hit retirement age and we are tired,’ she said.  

The campsite offers people the chance ‘get to know everyone’ she said, using the term in the loosest possible sense.

‘We do what we want, when we want and with whom we want,’ said one online reviewer, while others describe ‘the delirious ambiance’ at post-dinner sex parties (soirées coquins).

Reviews of the campsite are mixed with some describing it as a paradise where you can ‘forget your daily problems’ while others complain of the fearsome pitbull dog who roams the campsite to keep ‘security’.

Others complain about the strict rules, not so much those that demand women are respected, but regulations which stipulate that there can only be a certain number of single men allowed at any one time. Some have complained that the ban on sex in the swimming pool is routinely ignored.

Estate agent Lynn Chaulieu from Leggett Immobilier said any buyer would be foolish not to run it as a libertine site given its business potential.

‘It has just totally boomed since it became a swingers campsite,’ she told The Local. 

Another swingers campsite opened in April last year. Le Diamant Noir in the southwestern Dordogne region promised to serve up a range of onsite activities including ‘naughty games’ and ‘muscle awareness water aerobics’.

Owner Bruno Mazaferro, who set up the park with his wife Sandra, said his aim was to make swingers holidays more affordable with overnight stays at his site starting from about £20.  

He was fully booked over Easter and summer last year and is optimistic the trend would continue.  

On the entertainment front, along with ‘naughty games’ and heart-pounding water aerobics, the campsite also hosted nightly parties where underwear was optional.
