Howdy, iam Michael Beehler, Take it easy.

Whoa, talk about a culture shock! French toilets are totally different from what we’re used to in the U.S. - they have separate compartments for peeing and pooping! It’s like two rooms in one, if you can believe it. And get this: there’s usually no toilet paper either! Yup, you gotta bring your own or use the bidet. Crazy, right? But hey, when in Rome…or should I say Paris?

Why Are French Toilets Separate? [Solved]

Yup, French building codes demand that toilets be kept separate. It’s all about the cultural differences between public and private areas, and what’s considered clean or dirty.

  1. Bidet: A bidet is a plumbing fixture that is used to clean the genital and anal areas of the body. It typically consists of a bowl with a nozzle or sprayer attached to it, and is usually installed near the toilet.

  2. Toilet Paper: Toilet paper is used to wipe after using the toilet, and it should be placed in a separate bin from other waste products.

  3. Waste Bin: A waste bin should be provided for disposing of used toilet paper and other sanitary items such as tampons or pads. This bin should be emptied regularly to prevent odors from building up in the bathroom.

  4. Handwashing Station: A handwashing station should be provided near the toilet for washing hands after using the facilities, as well as before eating or preparing food in order to avoid cross-contamination between different areas of the bathroom.

  5. Ventilation System: Proper ventilation is essential for keeping bathrooms smelling fresh and preventing mold growth due to moisture buildup from showers and baths taken in them. An exhaust fan can help keep air circulating throughout the room, while an open window can also provide natural ventilation when needed during warmer months of the year

French toilets are a bit different than what you’re used to. They have two separate sections - one for peeing and one for pooping. So, if you gotta go number two, don’t be surprised when you see two separate sections! It’s just the way they do it in France.
