Paris hosts nude picnic
In Paris, the Nudists Association is hosting a nude picnic for naturists. If you want to eat in the buff, the location is Bois de Vincennes park.

The group hopes it will be a “symbolic day,” bringing together Parisians in the nudist area of the Bois de Vincennes park. [ . . . ]
