Paris’ first and only restaurant catering to naked dining will draw its curtains for the last time on February 16, a mere 15 months after opening, due to one simple reason — not enough bums to warm their seats.

“Thank you for participating in this adventure by coming to dinner at O’naturel,” announced the owners, 42-year-old twins Michael and Stephanie Saada.“We will only hold good times, meetings with beautiful people and customers delighted to share exceptional moments.”

Former insurance salesmen, the twins first opened the restaurant in November 2017, spotting a potential opportunity in the rising tide of nudism spreading through the fashionista capital.

According to the Local, the restaurant boasted a minimal decor and an upmarket French bistro cuisine — foie gras, lobster and snails with parsley cream sauce — priced at 49 euros ($74.53) for a three-course dinner.

Customers could only dine by reservation and were asked to leave their clothes, phones and cameras in the restaurant’s cloakroom. Men were given slippers to wear while women could opt to wear their own heels.
