Toilets

I figured someone needed to mention the public bathrooms here in France.
In America we take for granted that every major public place has a bathroom for us to use, and for free too.  We kind of feel that that's normal and we're entitled to it. Not so much in France.  Restaurants and stores don't seem to feel that it's a good idea to provide a bathroom.  It's almost like that's a personal problem and you needn't bother them with it.
The place that surprised me the most was the public Library in Nice.  They have this big library that everyone in Nice was so proud of, but there wasn't a bathroom!  I mean the Library at UVU has 6 bathrooms for its patrons, but this library not so much as a unisex toilet room to use.  And that's normal!
Every once in a while you will find a bathroom. Usually they're not connected to a business, but seem to be something the government has set up.  When using these bathrooms, more often than not you'll have to pay for it. 50 centimes is the norm.  Having to pay you'd expect it to be a pleasant experience right? Wrong.  Truthfully I haven't seen a public bathroom here that's not gross.
