The scenario is a familiar one: you've been exploring Paris for years, and a craving strikes at just the wrong moment. The only problem is, you're in the street and don't necessarily dare go into a café, at the risk of having your request rejected or stumbling across a paying toilet. Fortunately, Paris is pretty well equipped in this respect: there are over 700 free public toilets all over the city.
Between urinals, sanisettes and conventional toilets, there are plenty of places to relieve your needs. But where to find them? Whether in parks, museums or on the street, here's an interactive map showing the location of public toilets. You can also find out more about the facilities by clicking on the cursors.
Various applications can also help you use geolocation to locate the nearest toilets, including "Where are the toilets?" available on the App Store as well as the Google Play Store. Another application, Ici Toilettes, lets you find out which cafés and restaurants offer free access to their toilets, with no obligation to use them, as well as other types of equipment, including changing tables.
