BIENVENUE AU CLUB GYMNIQUE LUMIÈRE GENÈVE

WELCOME

All along the almost 80 years of its existence, the "Club Gymnique Lumière" (CGL) of Geneva has succeeded remaining a "little paradise".

Characterized by a true family-oriented philosophy, it is a far cry from the "adventure"-seeking, show-off, one-upmanship attitude one encounters all too often in other venues. Contrary to the anonymity which reigns in the big commercially operated holiday centres, the CGL offers the atmosphere of a small family-style club where everyone knows everyone and where naturism is practised without any dogma nor any form of sectarianism.

Sociability is the guiding principle at the CGL. Its size (approximately 20 000 m²) is just right for everyone to get acquainted with each other and, why not, become friends.

A sizeable sector of the grounds is set aside to accommodate tents, caravan trailers and motorcampers; visitors and guests alike will feel at ease there.

The club’s infrastructure permits you to style your rest according to your likes – quietly, or a little bit more lively. Vast lounging lawns invite you for a nap, a chat, or to enjoy a good book – in a sunny spot or in the shade of our magnificent trees.

If idleness is not your cup of tea, there’s a choice of appropriate facilities to practise your favourite sport: tennis, volleyball, badminton, pétanque, archery, table tennis, swimming. An open-air chess game and a well-stacked library with titles in many languages wait to be taken advantage of. After the "siesta", or after a strenuous physical or intellectual effort, a dive into the pool will make you feel fresh as a daisy.

Our little ones are not forgotten! For the kids there is a "Robinson"-style playground, swings, a seesaw, and many other exciting games.

A large, comfortable and well-equipped dormitory, the "chalet" (clubhouse) with roofed terrace and fully installed kitchen, a four-sided BBQ, several refrigerators and a washing machine are there for the use of members and visitors alike. It goes without saying that there is also a toilet block with showers and facebowls featuring hot and cold water.

All along the season, sports tournaments are held, be it on club, interclub, national or even international level. Visitors are cordially invited to participate in club-level events.

To all this, add the fact that the CGL is an ideal gateway to many sightseeing trips and excursions. (More on this in the chapter "Tourism/Excursions".)

To sum up, there’s a great chance that you’ll spend more time at the CGL as initially planned – wanna bet?
