‘Madame pee pee’ on the barricades over Paris boutique toilets
A Dutch provider of upscale public toilets has been accused of flushing away French labour laws by refusing to take on Paris lavatories' longstanding staff, whom the French traditionally refer to as "dames pipi" [pronounced “pee pee”].
The city of love and light has a rather unglamorous reputation when it comes to latrines and general hygiene standards, with pungent urine odours and bog-standard toilets still a frequent occurrence in cafes, streets and metro corridors.
