"is that a space capsul?!"

This is a typical public toilet you see on the streets of Paris. When I arrived I named them "space capsuls" and swore never to use one...who knows what could happen once you pay and the automatic door closes you in?! Well...today the word "never" came back to haunt me when I needed to go so bad and after blocks and blocks of no possible places to go except the gutter (which unfortunately some people do use)...I actually was very excited to see this space capsul in the distance. A few things you should know before using...IT only takes exact change, it costs .40 euros, so a .50 euro coin will not be accepted and if that is all you have you must go and get change before you can use IT...also, you only have 15 minutes inside before the automatic door will open on its own so that it can "self-clean" for the next customer. You better keep an eye on the time and get your business taken care of in a timely manner to prevent public exposure(this did not happen to me, but is noted on the outside as a warning) For more information on how one uses the public toilets of France you can click on the title for an article that further explains
