Cherbourg Toilets

[SpottedBlue]

I have crossed to Cherbourg three times this season, suprised to see again last weekend that there is still only one toilet seat in the Gents toilets in the Capitinerie.
Forumites planning to cross in September would be advised to carry their own - or develop the 'hover' technique
Cold porcelain is no fun!

A child's inflatable rubber ring works well and can be carried discretely too (I knew a chap who always took one to French campsites for the same reason) - you might get some funny looks from the chap in the next cubicle if he hears you blowing it up though!!

It always amazes me that one of the most sophisticated nations on the Planet can be quite so cavalier about toilets. Some UK public loos can be a bit dodgy, but even the worst example fades into insignificance alongside yer average French pissoir /forums/images/icons/crazy.gif

"you might get some funny looks from the chap in the next cubicle if he hears you blowing it up though!"

Which is nothing to the looks you'd get deflating it...!

I once heard the French viewpoint on this, "We care about the quality of our food, the English care about the other end".

At least it's not two footprints and a hole in the ground! Years ago my wife came out of one in a Dordogne restaurant in fits of laughter with tears running down her face. Even the French had to laugh with her.

Indeed. I walked into a cubicle equipped with one of these in Tregastel a couple of weeks ago, to find that somebody had, erm, missed the target zone with some solids /forums/images/icons/crazy.gif and left the evidence for all to see /forums/images/icons/frown.gif.

Sorry; this is probably too much information!

Humble appologies &c. . . .
