Public toilets in Paris
Paris has self-cleaning public sanisettes across its neighbourhoods; many are free, but may close briefly during cleaning.
Practical tip: At a sanisette, let cleaning finish before entering and follow the cabin’s multilingual instructions. The city distinguishes toilet cabins from urinal-only cabins: they are not interchangeable if you need a full toilet. Use the city map to find an alternative along your route when a facility is out of service.
