Will be visiting Mesen/Messines late on a Tuesday morning. Does anyone (@The Scorer?) know if the Café du Centre will be open then (website says not)? If not does anyone know whether the loos in the Museum or St Nicholas are still open/available Asking for fellow visitors whose baldders are not as strong as they used to be! I'm afraid that I don't, sorry - I haven't been there for a few years, so I'm not up to date with the museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mandy hall Posted 7 February , 2023 Share Posted 7 February , 2023 The CWGC visitor center in Beaurains, has nice clean toilets.

healdav Posted 8 February , 2023 Share Posted 8 February , 2023 I once had an American couple who put in a vociferous complain because there are no 'bathrooms' in the Argonne Forest. The concept of going behind a tree was unknown to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harveyfletch Posted 25 April , 2023 Share Posted 25 April , 2023 Beware of the “super loo” on the Place Emile Leturcq in Abert if you are tight with your money. My friend nipped in after me as the door was closing as he didn’t want to pay 1 euro. The door closed behind him, the lights went out and there was a nerve tingling scream. He came out looking like a drowned rat. Apparently it’s a self cleaning loo that sprays water and disinfectant all over the inside of the room. He didn’t look to clever but smelled lovely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Michelle Young Posted 26 April , 2023 Admin Share Posted 26 April , 2023 Went to a cafe at La Ferte Sous Jouarre recently, and the facilities were of the Turkish two foot holes variety. I’m afraid I baulked at using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was informed very sniffily by a café owner in France that those are far more hygienic than the variety with seats. I'm afraid I find them revolting even assuming previous users have been careful. We went on to a different café. Something I've noticed (with relief) in Alsace is that I haven't come across the holes in the floor sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
