Paris has opened a nudist park, attracting a few hundred people who gathered for a large-scale picnic on the last day of its trial opening period. Nudist groups called on the government to do a re-run next year with extended opening time.
In late August this year, the Paris municipal authorities designated Bois de Vincennes, a park situated in the southeastern part of the city, as a nudist park. From August 31 to October 15, nudists could indulge in the pleasure of being naked in public, whilst creepy onlookers and exhibitionists were barred from entry.
Last Sunday (the 15th) was the last day of opening during the trial period. The day saw a clear sky and clean air, and a few hundred nudists descending into the park, and having a large-scale nude picnic to enjoy the last day. The Nudist Association of Paris (ANP) claimed that 410 people in total took part in the picnic.
A woman revealed during an interview that she had been to the park seven times during the trial opening period, “The good thing about here is there are no fences separating the area, people walking by who see us may feel curious and surprised, but we are just nature lovers.”
During the trial opening, the park only opened till half past seven in the evening. Nudists have issued calls on the government to open the park next year, and extend its opening hours till ten at night during summer, so park goers can reap the full enjoyment of naked sunbathing.
