Another point of interest regarding French toilets, the gents in particular. They do not seem to go in for modesty screens as the urinals are very often in full public view, especially on most of the campsites.
I think a lot of them used to be unisex as well. Cant say it bothers me though. If women or in fact anyone wants to watch me pee, I dont care. I actually admire the French for just having a widdle when they want one. Its us that seem to be hung up about such trivial things. (well not me. I dont care)
That's why every lay-by in the UK stinks of pee. IMHO Scotch Corner being the worst.
And don't get me started on the "bottles of Pop" discarded along the wayside
Yes. People do say that lay-bys stink of pee but I dont notice it. Then again I dont spend a lot of time in laybys.

For those who may need to be toilet vigilant, why not download the gps co-ords of Auchan, Carrefour and Eclerc - most decent sized supermarkets have modern, and mostly clean, facilities.
A small pack of seat wipes (eg Parazone) may give you a little more confidence to squat (also applies to UK public loos).

But presumably the OP will also have a fully-equipped motorhome in the car park of said supermarket ? What is needed is the GPS co-ordinates of in-town loos so that they can be identified quickly when the OP's wife is in extremis while out sight-seeing !

Ah, then I have an idea on another thread I've volunteered to spend the rest of the year touring France collecting accurate aire co-ords, so, I could also collect loo co-ords( loo-ords) - I'm just waiting for MHF management to confirm that they will finance this worthwhile venture.
My needs are few, just a few gallons of diesel, one or two "deux baguettes s'il vous plait", a few wedges of cheese and a bottle or two of bottom shelf Vin de Table.
Surely my offer can't be refused?

Count me in tony ! I'd also suggest a few bottles of finest French eau as well to provoke a need to search more diligently.
I'll be your first customer when you start to sell the database. What will you call it ??
