“I was amazed when I opened the mail” explains Frédéric, better known as Lisa, the Pink Panther. This pensioner, a former public works engineer, has had an apartment in the Cap d’Agde naturist camp for three years. This transvestite is also the secretary of the trade union council (association of co-owners) since September 2023. Her outfit is disturbing. His way of being too.
Frédéric, who has been a regular visitor to the naturist camp since long before he bought an apartment there, has just filed a complaint against the Servian gendarmerie brigade for publicly inciting discrimination because of his sexual orientation.
Can we afford everything, even in Cap d’Agde?
This man, a heterosexual who lives as a couple, welcomes us to his house in Puissalicon, north of Béziers, wearing a short skirt and a blond wig. “I will be 63 soon. My clothes may surprise you, but I consider myself a girl since birth. My parents wanted a girl. I’ve always been very feminine. As a child, people always called me ‘Mademoiselle’. I once went to work in very short lace shorts. It always made my boss laugh. It’s my way of turning. I only wear women’s accessories in the summer.”

At the end of March, did the administrator who manages the “Port Nature 3” co-ownership go too far when he sent an anonymous letter from his headquarters in Béziers to all the co-owners in addition to the fees to be paid? A four-page letter signed by an unidentified “collective of co-owners”. “How brave. I am discriminated against because of my sexual orientation. She teases me from beginning to end with allusions to my cross-dressing.”.

“I’ve never been dragged through the mud since I was born like in the nudist village I bought”
Frédéric says he is the target of the owners, indirectly supported by the current manager, who we have chosen not to name. “Private conversations are taken out of context to get at me. If they want to say I’m useless, fine. But that’s not honest. The letter isn’t signed.” We she blames me for everything because I’m a transvestite. Because I had the audacity to come to a union council meeting dressed as a girl. But it wasn’t rude. They say I was in a skirt, butt in the air”
“It is unacceptable for a councilor to attend meetings in disguise, skirt with butt in the air” – letter
“The Federal Council (association of co-owners), of which I have been secretary since September, wanted to change the administrator because the management is considered disastrous” Lisa explains. “I wasn’t at the birth of this project, but I supported and carried it. I’m sure I’m made to pay for it today.”
In this anonymous letter, the authors condemn not only his incompetence, behavior and inappropriate clothing: “It is unacceptable for a council member, in this case Mr. Denis, to organize a he goes to meetings in ordinary disguise and also outside the village. This is a lack of respect, courtesy and seriousness. What dismal picture does that paint of our co-ownership?”
“In my own village in Puissalicon, even the mayor Michel Farenc welcomes me better”
“You know, I would never have thought that a condominium manager would send me such a letter. Especially from people who visit a nudist village. In my own village in Puissalicon, I am well received. Even by the mayor “He even asked Since I bought apartment in a nudist village, I was always rejected with my wife, who is black.”

“Yes, this attitude hurts me deeply. It is the first time in my life that I have been attacked like this. Even in a city in the suburbs of Paris, I have never been treated so badly. I am not swingers with my wife. My outfits are unpleasant, that is sure, but we’re not libertines. I like the nudist village for the atmosphere. I’m doing a free show with my wife (Black Panther) at Arch 2.”
Since this letter was sent, the crows have been identified. There are about forty of them
Shocked roommates
“I don’t understand why the union sent this letter. It’s annoying and clumsy. I’m also shocked by the judgment of some of the owners. Especially here.” confides to Richard France Bleu Hérault. He lives year-round in a naturist camp and, like the other owners, he too was the addressee of this mailing. “I called the manager. He did not measure the extent of the comments on the letter. And I remain surprised by the behavior of those who signed. It’s not because there’s a barrier that the naturist world is better.”

“Lisa wanted to change trustees. This letter was probably to make her pay” – Richard
“I think so, it really was such a goal” Richard said. “The letter that was sent was to promote the current manager. We understand that in co-ownership, people have a different opinion. The fact that the manager sent this letter is undoubtedly to protect himself, to say, ‘Look, not all owners agree that we are changing administrators.” It is very clumsy, especially for an administrator who manages a large number of properties in the village. There is an idea of the knowledge of manners, the knowledge of tolerance that we have. here. He missed it completely. Honestly, I don’t understand.”
Devastated manager: ‘We admit our mistake’
The co-ownership manager did not want to comment, but he admits his mistake. “I should have read those four pages again. The last sentences are unfortunate. I blame myself terribly. I have no judgment in front of anyone. I’ve been doing this job for 17 years. I’ve always been neutral, but unfortunately, it’s common in circulars.” to be sent at the request of the owners”.
“It’s common for us to put circulars in a fundraising appeal”
“Honestly, it’s a dispute between the owners that has been going on for years. I’m not dealing with it. If I hadn’t sent the document, the team would have done it differently. I read the beginning of the email, not the end. I blame myself. Yes, comments are inappropriate. This is unacceptable, I understand that and I regret that I did not read everything.’
