amba - do they still have those in France?

I only ever saw one in Spain (in a bar in a very rural town called Cadiar). That was 18 years ago. Ghastly horrible things.

The very, very worst toilets I ever saw were in France at an aire de reste on a busy road. They looked as though they had been used by people with the trots, poor aim, never flushed or cleaned for god knows how many years. Makles me retch just thinking about it.

As it's Paris, one of several mugging capitals of Europe I would have thought they would be an ideal mugging spot as you would struggle to catch the assailant with your todger in your hand.

But they were probably free, therefore they would never exists in the UK in the first place. So given the choice in need of a pee some shithole for free, or nothing at all.

In defence of Frogland, there are motorway stops with a free toilet, and somewhere to park for a while, without the threat of parking fines and having to buy loads of overpriced crap.

Worst 1 ever used was actually in a pub/café in a town called Terrasson in the Dordogne .

It was same sex and had what I can only describe as a shower tray with a large hole in the middle raised up on a tiled plinth.All the walls in the open space were tiled and on each side of the wall was a very crude rusty metal hand rail.No running water and the only means of waste removal was by the next person to use it .

Absolutely vial and that was in a place where you could eat.....admittedly that was around 1998/9...but it had been there for many years

Agree though service areas on main routes are free and normally clean better than the open air picnic places along some minor roads

No, because I would never be in Paris, due to the fact its in France. 

Nought wrong with France. Although Paris is a shithole, full of Parisians.

Apart from the fact its full of French people. Granted they may show a degree of friendliness when your giving them your hard earned cash though, as they have never "hard earned" anything due to being a nation of lazy communists. 

Ignoring Parisians for a moment, and whatever nationality lingers around the Northern ports, especially Calais, I have found the French people friendly, helpful and pleasant, irrespective of whether I'm giving them money or not.

To be honest - with the exception of one very obviously "tourist" cafe (as it's right beside the Notre Dame) - I've found the same in Paris.

It's cleaner than London, too. Less escalators on the Metro than the Underground, however, if you are mobility challenged.

I've always got on well with the French and mostly found the same, but their cultural enhancement has led to several people I know being mugged, dipped on the Paris Metro or having bags 'stanley knifed' and the contents taken. These days I would recommend Kyiv as a much safer interesting tourist capital city to visit over Paris, where most East European countries don't do uncontrolled cultural enhancement.
