Free at last ... Almost

One thing that has shocked many tourists around Paris, France, is the fact that public restooms were not free in shopping malls and other public places, contrary to America or maybe Hong Kong for instance. Say what you will about the nutrional meals by McDonald's, but at least the bathrooms were free for the many tourists visiting Paris! Nowadays, it is very common for many shopping malls to have public restooms. I must admit, I was quite surprised to learn this recently, and a good surprise it is. So all you tourists wanting to come to Paris, come on down. Fear not, there's a free public restroom near you just in case you dont have any change ... well at least in the shopping malls.
