Bertrand Delanoë, the Mayor of Paris, has done a lot to improve that city. Last year he made the public toilettes free for use and it worked. The usage has gone up incredibly (you used to have to pay to faire pipi in these little booths on the sidewalk).
But it hasn’t stopped the public urination problem that occurs in various areas of this beautiful city. What to do, what to do…. Ah HA… the “mur anti-pipi” or the “anti-pee wall”. What? It’s a wall built on the side of buildings that basically ricochets the pee right back at ‘ya. Niiiice. More on the anti-pipi plan can be found in this article from Britians The Telegraph.
A fun fact from this article:
A prototype is being tried out in the Cour des Petites-Ecuries in the 10th arrondissement — the quarter with the highest number of offenders. The chic second arrondissement is second worst.
Cleanest of all is the seventh arrondissment, one of the most expensive in Paris and home to the Eiffel Tower
Who knew?
