L'Irrésistible is a libertine sauna club at Bergerac in the Dordogne, on the Rue Sully Prudhomme — a timber building with its name over the door, set back behind its own fenced forecourt. It describes itself as a warm space where respect, discretion and pleasure come first, with the setting of an elegant club and the feel of a private party.

Its own equipment list is a swimming pool, a jacuzzi and a sauna, alongside themed rooms; its photographs add a lounge under coloured light and a curtained play room. It also runs a shop of its own, selling clothing, accessories, jewellery and toys.

Two house rules are published and both are firm. There is a dress code: no trainers, no sportswear, no t-shirts, and no trousers for women — the club keeps shirts available to hire for the evening. And there is a hygiene rule: playing in the baths is expressly forbidden, and every themed corner is stocked with paper, disinfectant and a bin so the place stays clean for everyone.
