We have been driving around Europe for about 14 days now and have been in Germany, France, Italy and Switzerland. I noticed the French toilets along the highway are free and the other countries charge around a $1. This is one of the most un-american parts of Europe. Below is a photo of a public toilet in Baccarat, France. The urinals are out in the open and for 20cents you can use a toilet, this arrangement is common in much of Europe.
This may be "socialist" of me but what I noticed was that toilets are free and plentiful (France) allies don't always smell bad. But where they are rare or expensive you don't want to walk in any shadowed area. It seems like society is served by spending on public sanitation (I know this may be shocking to some of my tea-party friends).
