Yes, I think, but from the mid-80s, when used first won the Tour (Greg Lemmond) and the organization was exapanding their ability to make money became more contractors and lost one of its attractions: it was an exhausting entreprise. Still is, but something has changed.
“Tour de France” Winner -LANCE ARMSTRONG SONG “YOU ROLLED ON” wmv performance by Manfred Kriegel
When a city of 2.1 million people has more than 30 million visitors a year, itâ € ™ s clear that there are only so many thrones can be installed without jumping too much in a palaceâ € ™ s real rooms. But as a tourist recently experienced the dangers of public peeing, I noticed some things that could make or break the day.
Not even a Royal Throne
The great palace of Versailles is a sight to behold € "enough to distract the whole bladder to the end. Oh I almost missed the tour bus because I had to wait 30 minutes in a row to go to the loos. And listen to an excess of Russians with an argument tan € "probably about why the hell people were taking so long.
Waiting
Maybe itâ € ™ sa girl thing but I swear that some women were there for a minimum of 10 minutes. Are reading Madame Bovary? Lancôme one do your makeup? In search of wrinkles?  It takes an average of 30 seconds to pee. Surely nothing can be expected. Men have the right strategy: never seems to be a line.
If Loos is fashion, then those in Paris are the ones who showed post-season sale € Binsa "With the missing buttons. Or maybe your Loos are as dirty and fronts of the tire brands and threw in a corner of a bathroom with mold. Compare the French fashion missteps with Changi Airport in Singapore toilets, which are like Givenchy couture silk, fresh from the cleaners.
Je ne pas comprends
After waiting, finally enter into the cubicle, itâ € ™ s not as easy as seems. First Some donâ € ™ t have toilet seats, so they either have to bend down, get a cold ass and risk of head scratching in. So far: whether to clean: push, pull, pull, pedal or leave automatic.
Where to go: Types of loos
Right, so now you know to do something simple biologically is logistically difficult in â € ~ gay Pareeâ € ™. Â What to do then express to wake the three jet-lag to catch up with you?
The Loovre
Public monuments tend to lose a lot, but you can only have three cubicles, in an area hidden behind a dark art Marcel display. And donâ € ™ t error Duchamp € ™ s art dealer Georges Pompidou, European for a curious public urination area.  But then, desperate times require desperate measures. Perhaps thatâ € ™ s why I saw a guy willing to risk the comfort of your tree behind the Eiffel Tower, which is patrolled by Chapters with automatic rifles.
Explosion
Walking between a beautiful building for the next time why Paris sanisettes. These are individual cubicles, permanent street accessories feel like an escape pod, but instead of space age technology, you need A peg to hold the nose and the door can be opened at any time â € ~ in flagrant squattoâ € ™.  Thereâ € ™ s still a rumor going around about young children getting caught in the wash cycle that occurs after 15 minutes.
Cash Dash
Then Thereâ € ™ s Relay Toilets, alias, pee. you pay is usually found in train stations, the system works by pe-er to decide the menu (pee only, or shower, or both (or not), then the supply of money to someone behind a glass screen. Usually, a large woman, with a sour face, â € ~ she who allows pees € ™.  So for twice the price of a two-liter bottle of water (between 50-70 cents a supermarket) you can return to walk the cobbled stones without servile.
Even the tourist havens for the family as Maccas and KFC is the trick lock their toilets with keyboard codes. One day after rowing tea, I felt like throwing a sitting Ronald through the glass to pull the lock tight door. Oh, it was with joy that, albeit Nice minor I looked at my receipt for the first time.A Yes, you guessed it. A code for loos.Â. Sigh Malls are not even have public health, or if it does, then the signals that lead throughout the store to get there, right next to items on impulse purchases, as Evian water and calm water devices.
Top Luxury
There are also luxury bathrooms, but I never I had the pleasure of manicures or bright magazines. called the â € ~ € ™ PointWCâ around 1.5 euros per visit itâ € ™ sa stretch but when you can undo all the good work with a coffee from a vending machine purchases or fake nails at the same time, why not?
General Tips:
The key not wait until you have to go: you can use when you can, not when it's necessary.
To make this trip less at random, buy Philippe Dorcourtâ Brochure € ™ s â € ~ Paris-break-Pipia € ™, which lists and maps where all sanisettes are available online for about Paris. 2.80 euros. http://www.paris.pause-pipi.fr/
Try not to think about water while waiting in line. And set a good example. Getting in and out as a rescue mission to the | € Congoâ
What youâ € ™ d probably want to do anyway, due to dirt. And as how to use, remember the four P: push, pull, clipless pedals. Well, isnâ € ™ t last, but Iâ € ™ ve said enough pee havenâ € ™ t I?
