BOOK DESCRIPTION

Le Club Gymnique de France de Villecresnes est un des premiers centres naturistes créés en 1930. Il a poursuivi sa vie associative sous tous ses présidents, à ce jour en 2023 Bernard Tourrette.
Le quotidien de ce club, patiemment décrit ici depuis ses origines, dans le journal de bord d’un de ses premiers membres, Georges Marguillier, révèle la construction de sa vie collective, habitat, nudité (qu’on appelait alors « gymnité »), économie et aménagement des espaces.
Grâce aux deux albums de Christiane Schwartz, les photos des années 1930 montrent des corps libres et harmonieux, en plein air, partageant avec bonheur toutes sortes d’activités : baignades, sport, camping, repas, bénévolat… Ces archives rares et précieuses sont exemplaires de ce que fut l’idéal de ces pionniers du naturisme.
