At Physiopolis

Parisians who take their nudism straight call themselves Amis de Vivre, seclude themselves in the Norman village of Choseville. Less bold French sunlovers belong to the Societe Naturiste, retire to the mid-Seine island of Medan ten miles northwest of Paris. There, in a four-year-old bungalow colony called Physiopolis, they disport themselves in brassieres and ''modesty belts."

Coldest in years has been this Paris winter. But at Physiopolis, undaunted and undressed, a professor's wife kept up until last week her daily regimen of dips in the icy Seine, five-mile walks around the island. Then she bore an 8-lb. baby, named it Physiopolis. It was the colony's first birth, the island's first in 200 years.

Said Physiopolis' pioneer mother last week: "I did this for all the women of the world, to prove that childbirth is just a normal function without danger if a woman leads a natural life."
