Paris’ first nudist restaurant has been forced to close after it failed to attract enough customers.

O'Naturel opened in November 2017 but will shut its doors on February 16 after just 14 months.

The restaurant, in the city’s 12th arrondissement, was the city’s first naturist dining hotspot, although staff did remain clothed.

In a statement posted on the restaurant’s Facebook page, owners Mike and Stephane Saada, who are twins, thanked diners and said they would “only remember good times.”

They said: “Thank you for participating in this adventure by coming to dinner at O’Naturel.

“We will only remember good times, meetings with beautiful people and customers delighted to share exceptional moments.

“We are counting on you to support us and help us during this month of January and early February 2019

“So don't hesitate to book now to enjoy a last naked dinner in Paris. Now is the time.”
