Fortunately here the public toilet is free of charge. I heard that in France the public toilets usually need to charge from Euro 0.3-2 and I must say that it is a bit expensive and it is really inconvenient for the tourists.

As far as I know, all the public toilets here in Canada are free. If some of them charge, I haven't heard of it.

Good to learn this. How about the department stores? Are the toilets free there?

No and I think this is ridiculous. They do in England when I lived there.

They are free here and a public place can refuse to let you use theirs if they want to.

Really? It sounds serious if you get denied when you have to use the public toilet.

I haven't come across a public toilet yet in France where I've had to pay. Perhaps I've just been lucky.

@JudyEv when I was in Paris with my relatives, we were looking for a public toilet but we haven't found one and so we just ate at MC Donald's and used their toilet.

Here the public toilets are free but private people charges. If you want to pay money then you can expect neatness there.

Most public toilets here especially in malls are free. In tourist spots they charge 5 pesos which is not that expensive. You know you help them in the maintenance and cleanliness of their toilets

Some public toilets are free in France, there is an app for the smartphone to locate the toilets and to know if they are free or you need to pay. Here the public toilets are free.

@youless it depends where the public toilets is located. Shopping malls, restaurants and cafeterias have to provide toilets for the customers.

Public toilet in the Philippines do charge a small amount too. They said it's for the maintenance of the toilet so it's okay. But what happens in reality is that some public toilets are not clean and worst, some of them smells or has a problem with the water supply. But thankfully, not every place in my country is like that. I guess it also depends on the city ordinance or how well the authorities of a certain place do part in maintaining public toilets or public places.

But charging Euro 0.2-3 is not little money. Especially it is expensive to pay Euro 3 to go to the toilet
