With the closure of restaurants, bars and more recently department stores, access to sanitary facilities in the capital is becoming more complicated and can even become a source of stress, especially for people suffering from certain pathologies.
Cécile Briand, artist and author of the guide “Where to pee in Paris?
», Showed us during a stroll in the west of Paris that there are several types of places where it is possible to use toilets for free, despite the restrictions related to the fight against the spread of Covid- 19.
Lending libraries, district town halls, and even cemeteries: many municipal spaces remain open and offer access to sanitary facilities, “sometimes even heated”, smiles Cécile Briand.
The only constraint: the opening hours of these places which are sometimes reduced due to the health situation and the curfew.
For lovers of greenery, the capital's parks and gardens also have toilets open to the public.
Other essentials which are located this time directly in the street: the sanisettes, numbering 435 in the capital, “a solution that should not be overlooked at the moment”, explains the author of the guide.
