Once a month, visitors to the French museum Mucem in Marseille can view the exhibition "Naturist Paradise" wearing only shoes – shoes are required to avoid injured soles. Among those who have taken the opportunity are Julie Guegnolle, 38.

It's not every day you get to walk around naked in a museum, she says, and tells that it initially felt a bit strange – at first.

France is the number one destination for the world's naturists, according to Mucem (Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations) – and Marseille has a long tradition of naturism.

How and why has it become so? the museum asks itself in the exhibition, which includes, among other things, 600 photographs, films, everyday objects, and paintings.

Visitor Christelle Bouyoud, 53, believes that nudity can function as a unifying force in society.

When you're naked, it's very difficult to meet someone on the battlefield, she says.
