Paris Pause-pipi Guide
While out sightseeing, one important thing to know is
where to go when you need to go without having to pay for a coffee or
soda.
Since February 2006, the city of Paris provides "sanisettes"
around Paris free of charge (more of this on my
Public Toilets page).
Philippe Dorcourt has
published the addresses and maps of where the sanisettes are located,
which I can attest to is very helpful to know where exactly to find them
instead of wandering around looking!
For 2,80 euros you can download the guide from his
website. It is 36 pages but produced in booklet form and will only use 9
pieces of A4 or 8 1/2" x 11" paper.
The guide is available in either English or French with
little anecdotes. You can sample the guide on line before buying.
You can pay using either a credit card or PayPal.
Be sure to check it out at the
Paris Pause-pippi
website.
