Blessing in a disguise.
Went to the famous pharmacy monge…read morebut there's no restroom available.
With lack of sleep, overeating, and being cold, I was in pain and needed to go to restroom.
Didn't want to go to a restaurant and order food to go to the restroom so I seeked cafes. I couldn't find the first one that I was looking for and by this time, I was dying...
This place was the 2nd closest cafe and while being $ as much as eating, restroom was super clean and fairly enjoyed our traditional teas. I had a fruity oolong tea while husband had a milky oolong tea.
Set up and process was a new experience and tea actually helped alleviate my stomach pain.
I guess it worked out in the end, but was bothered by the staff that acted like she didn't understand English when we first asked about the bathroom when really, she spoke perfect English and wasn't until I said we'll buy something to direct me to the bathroom. Obviously, I looked like I was in lot of pain and she show have helped out first but I get that businesses are very protective of their bathrooms. But in actuality, I feel like if Paris has more public bathrooms, they would address the fowl odor in the streets. Is it me or is there none in the metros either?
