Would you use a uritrottoir in Paris?
« on: 16 August 2018, 09:49:08 »
The old pissoirs were novel. These are a step too far?

Would you use one?

Hmm.. I'd have to be pretty desperate, and usually I find I can control my bladder until I get to a cafe/restaurant/my hotel/home, personally!

For once, I am inclined to agree with the feminist quoted:
Quote
"They have been installed on a sexist proposition: men cannot control themselves and so all of society has to adapt," feminist Gwendoline Coipeault told Reuters.

"No one needs to urinate in the street," she added.

I'll be back in Paris in November, so we'll see if they're still there! ;D

I've used them at music festivals. Not sure I would in the street. :-\

Music festivals are a special case on account of the volume of beer my body is required to process. ::)

The French have a strange (to us at least) approach to the toilet.

I have visited France many times and have never failed to be amazed by cubicles with no doors, or doors of small proportions, and worse still having to pass men urinating to reach a "unisex" toilet when no male / female divide exists! :o :o :o

This latest idea is obscene and absurd, and surely most men themselves would not use one of those! ::) ::)

While not being the eco friendly version that this is supposed to be, I've seen loads of pissoirs in & around France that aren't dissimilar. While at a French railway station I approached a gents that turned out to be closed for cleaning but I was very quickly directed to the ladies by one of the female railway staff.

Campsite often have unisex shower blocks or a simple left or right in the same block

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.  :)

Its the grab rails on the wall and the almost shower tray trough with just a hole into the ground in most rural cafes and bars that is mind boggling  :o
