Bare all for picnic and yoga in Paris

Naturists plan a giant naked yoga session and naked picnic to mark Paris Naturism Day on June 24. It is just one of a series of events in the city as naturism sees a boom in popularity.

The Association des Natur­istes de Paris has seen numbers grow since Paris created the Bois de Vincennes naturist zone and then when a nearby restaurant became naturist.

Now it plans a naturist-only exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo gallery on May 5.

It is a national trend, as France 4 Naturisme’s eight naturist campsites saw 2017 bookings up 6% with more under-40s who, it said, wanted a ‘free life, more in touch with nature’.
