Trends Toilets in Paris. Visitors and Paris residents alike have all been confronted at one point or another with a pressing need for that basic but most essential of requirements: a clean, properly equipped and accessible public toilet. Paris has more than 400 free automatic public toilets in its 20 arrondissements and at all the major sightseeing spots.
In the spotlight When visiting Paris, why not start… in the middle?

This is the historic heart of the city – a treasure trove of the cultural and artistic attractions that Paris has to offer.

The Seine, its canals and docks and the lakes nestling in the city’s two great woods are unusual settings to host a reception or corporate incentive event. Many of these waterside locations can be reserved for a private event combining work and play, such as a conference livened up with water games.
