Being together to do something together: As representatives of the values of naturism, the members of the Club Naturiste de Bélézy

Provence meet regularly to practise various activities. In Summer the Domaine de Bélézy

welcomes them, thus allowing them to take advantage of its equipments in a beautiful

site nested in the foothills of Mont Ventoux. The club and the domain have been

collaborating harmoniously since 1970.

The knitting workshop: Its purpose is to bring together knitters of both

sexes for a common purpose leading to a

collective work.

In 2014 an exceptional work was carried out: a

"coat" was knitted for the 2CV of Pascal and

Madelon Leclère, who run the Domaine de

Bélézy.

The coat of the 2CV (or "of the deudeuche", as

we say in French!) Over 120 different people have taken part in

this work. 250 different pieces were knitted, 8

kgs of wool were used – the equivalent of 160

balls of wool.

All the holiday-makers in the Domain were

inv ited to join in, irrespective of whether they

were club members or not.

Many gave wool that they no longer needed,

thus giving it a second lease of life. Others

bought balls of wool and gave them to the

club.

While the coat was being made, the interest

for this project never decreased at Bélézy. The

2CV being gradually coated was a focus point

for all; innumerable smiles, countless photos

and numerous words of encouragement bear

testimony to this.

The result is absolutely spectacular!

Spreading the naturist word: The coated 2CV was exhibited twice in

the v illage of Bedoin, where it became

a focal point for all and made it easy

for us to start talking about naturism.

On those occasions we were able to

explain the reasons for naturism, to

describe our naturist values, and to talk

of the Fédération Française de

Naturisme, of our club, and of the

Domaine de Bélézy.

The Club Naturiste de Bélézy Provence,

helped and supported by the

Domaine de Bélézy, hopes to take

advantage of this interest in order to

spread the naturist word beyond the

borders of France.

The coated 2CV as an ambassador of

naturist values: The club and the Domaine de Bélézy,

with the support of the Fédération

Française de Naturisme, are jointly or-

ganizing an adventure-raid in 2015

which will take the 2CV to Torun, Po-

land, for the International Meeting of

2CV Friends. The car will be our am-

bassador to those who love the 2CV, a

car whose values are close to ours.

For the motto of 2CV lovers is that the

2CV is not only a car, but a style of life.

Naturists can recognize themselves in

this motto, since naturism too is a life-

style.

A human adventure: So as to establish links be-

tween a large number of

European naturists we wish

to stop overnight all along

the 4,000 km of our journey

in naturist clubs or resorts.

Support us: This adventure-raid is a participatory project.

Money is tight. We need the help of naturists

from all over the world in order to be able to

make it. Any help will be welcome.

For our part, we will be carrying wine from

our beautiful home region at the foot of

Mont Ventoux so that we can share a drink in

a friendly atmosphere every night.

Join us: This journey is not only for members of our Club. You can

join us to accompany the 2CV either for the whole of the

journey or for part of it, and thus take part in this human

adventure. Let us know if this is of interest to you. You can

either help to drive the 2CV or travel independently in your

own vehicle. We will come together at meeting points for

unique moments of sharing and being together around

the 2CV. We already have a number of people who are

ready to drive the 2CV: please register quickly, and follow

the list of those who are registering, at: http://www.cnbp.eu/

pages/voyage-a-torun-pour-la-2cv-de-belezy/

Budget: We need between 4 and 5,000 euros to cover the costs: registering with the International

Meeting of 2CV Friends, fuel for the 2CV, food and accommodation for the driver and

co-driver of the 2CV, wine to be shared on the way, telephone bills, internet, promotion,

insurance etc.

We wish to thank those who have already helped financially: the Domaine de Bélézy

Provence, the Cave Coopérative de Bedoin, the Fédération Française de Naturisme,

France 4 Naturisme, Patrick Llorca, the Garage des Lavandes in Bedoin.

We still need money. We have therefore launched a campaign, and we thank those

who have already participated. You can send cheques (French cheques only) to CNBP,

and post them to our postal box (CNBP, BP 20012, 84410 Bedoin, France), mentioning on

the back of the cheque "projet 2CV".

Bank transfers should be to IBAN FR08 20041010 0815 7647 8C02982

You can see see how much money the campaign has brought in at:

Welcome us: We are hoping to be ac-

commodated every night

in naturist structures. After

contact was established by

the Fédération Française

de Naturisme or by the In-

ternational Naturist Federa-tion, some have already

agreed to accommodate

us. But we still have not ar-

ranged accommodation

for some of the nights.

Please get in touch if you

are willing to accommo-

date us, and thus be part

of this great adventure.

The cost of the journey: We are paying for the expenses of the drivers of the 2CV

(one driver and one co-driver), but other participants are

expected to cover the cost of their own journey (fuel, ac-

commodation, food etc.). We are unable at the moment

to say how much accommodation will cost, as this will de-

pend upon the offers made by the clubs and resorts that

welcome us.
