In
Paris they have the sanisettes. These are public toilets, which you can use for
free! It might come in handy when you are walking somewhere and your apartment
in Paris isn’t nearby!
Because a Frenchmen called Philippe Dorcourt, never seemed to be able to find a
sanisette when he really really had to go, he wrote the Paris Pause Pipi-Guide. It’s an
e-book with 36 pages full of maps of the all of the arrondissements, which indicate where to find them. You can
order it on his website for EUR 2.80.
What
are they? These sanisettes? You might wonder. When I tell people about these
sanisettes, they immediately think of the seatless toilets with a hole in
the ground. Well if you where thinking this while reading the text above,
you’re wrong. They are highly sophisticated booths, you can find all across
Paris and they have there own cleaning ritual. Ok then now the ‘how’ part. How
does it work?
How
to use a sanisette in 4 steps:
1. Look whether it isn’t occupied. If
it’s vacant it will be indicated by a green light on the door of the sanisette.
Then press the button to open the door. Usually you can use the sanisettes for
free, but when you aren’t in the city center you might have to pay 20
eurocents. The door will close automatically, as it has a sensor that notices
you in the booth.
2. Do your business, you don’t have to
flush, the sanisette will do that for you.
3. Now washing your hands. If it works,
you’ll have to put you hands in the washing basin beneath the mirror. It will
poor water and soap over your hands. Don’t be scared because a few seconds
later it will blow-dry your hand.
4. When you are ready to leave, open
the door. A few moments after, the door will shut and the sanisette will
prepare itself for the next visitor.
Paris is very beautiful place to visit. If you also wanna to go there then i will suggest you, you must vist LMT. Might be you will get good deal for hotel.
