French Pay-Per-Pee Bathrooms
Steve over at StrangeNewProducts was kind enough to send us a pointer to a lovely photo album of France recently. What’s so interesting about France you might ask? Well the bathrooms of course! We were particularly taken with this picture of a pay-per-pee (or poo) bathroom at the Basilique du Sacré Coeur. The pay public toilet is something that we still aren’t very familiar with here in the USA, but it’s fairly common in Europe. The fun thing is, I actually used this exact bathroom on my trip to Paris last year! I don’t know what the money was going to either, because this wasn’t one of the cleaner bathrooms I used on my trip…

Fantastic photo, where’d you get it
It was a bit of a shock for me to walk into the bathroom and be forced to pay to pee in a urinal, especially since I could walk back out the door and go behind a bush and do it for free. Not only that, the stalls with real toilets are more expensive (with toilet paper included). I guess there’s something positive to be said for having pay american taxes (free urinals).
Thank goodness some of us are clever enough to take the camera to the bathroom! As President of the ICBE you’d think I’d remember to do that more often.
I don’t mind paying for a clean bathroom, but I don’t know what they were doing with our money at that one.
