Naked Irishman causes 'consternation' among French nuns

The 46-year-old man apologised and told police he had not realised he was the only person taking in the hills of Provence.

AN IRISH NATURIST was ticked off after his stroll in the hills of Provence in southern France caused consternation amongst the nuns at a local priory, police said today.

“We got several calls from one of the nuns of the Congregation of St-Jean who was quite concerned to see a completely undressed man walking around close to the priory,” a spokesman for the local gendarmerie said.

The embarrassed 46-year-old apologised, telling police he had not realised he was not the only person taking in the views.
