Now, Paris – perhaps the most suitable of the three locations, given France's openness and willingness to these things – has O'naturel, the brainchild of businessmen Mike and Stephane Saada. Neither Mike nor Stephane are nudists themselves. Instead, the former insurance salesmen saw an opportunity.
And why not? O'naturel is open for dinner only and reservations are required. Diners are warned beforehand that the restaurant is a restaurant, and not somewhere to try to score. It's billed as an evening locale for the more free flowing among us. Discreet lakes are too cold in winter.
"People only get to be nudists in the summer," said Stephane, 42. Unlike the Bunyadi, which was heavily themed, O'naturel's decor is minimalist. The menu is classically French, with items such as lobster, foie gras, and snails in parsley cream sauce.
Yves Leclerc, the president of the French Naturist Federation, said: "We're in the heart of Paris and we're eating naked. It's a little surreal".
