When thinking of Paris, one envisions culture, croissants, beauty, and delicious food. As the city with the second-highest number of Michelin Star eateries in the world, Paris is naturally renowned for its dining experiences.
In 2017, co-founders and twin brothers Mike and Stéphane Saada opened the doors to Paris’ first nudist restaurant. The aim of the restaurant was to celebrate the nudist culture that is seen across France.

However, the restaurant of 20 tables was seemingly a bit too liberal to retain customers and will be closing in February due to the lack of business.
The fine-dining restaurant, which was originally met with much enthusiasm, has seen support dwindling despite the established nudist community in France.
When arriving at O’naturel, patrons are required to strip and leave their clothes in a locker and are given a napkin to preserve their modesty. The menu includes starters, main courses and desserts of classic French style. Soup however isn’t served, for the obvious hazards possible spillage presents.

Diners were also given a set of rules to follow to ensure the comfortability of others. Suggestive behaviour was on the prohibited list, as well as cellphones and cameras.
If you are in Paris at the moment, eating at this restaurant might be an interesting dining experience to try, before the doors close on Saturday 19 February 2019.
