Le Clos des Palmes is a naturist guest house for gay men in Saint-Jean-de-la-Ruelle, on the western side of Orléans. The house describes itself as a calm, friendly place for resting and meeting people, where open-mindedness and discretion are part of the deal.
There are two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and guests share a kitchen and a lounge. The garden is laid out as a tropical terrace, with palms, a straw parasol and loungers, and there is a heated pool and a heated spa. Indoors, a club-style lounge has a bar corner, films and a record player.
The hosts also offer naturist massage and put on evenings for their guests. A sauna is a short walk from the house.
