Not just locations, but better decisions
See nearby options immediately instead of walking around blindly.
Use accessibility info to choose the most suitable location.
Jump from discovery to route guidance in a single flow.
Use the map first, then choose the safest and fastest option for your route.
When the need is urgent, prioritize toilets that are closest to your current route and have recent opening or availability signals. Public city toilets can be affected by cleaning cycles, maintenance or events, so always check the latest map details and the signs on site.
Paris has many free public toilets, but toilets inside train stations, department stores, cafés or museums may be paid, ticketed or customer-only. cacaou helps you compare public options first, then decide whether a nearby private venue is worth it.
If you need wheelchair access, extra space, a stroller-friendly route or a calmer location, do not choose only by distance. Compare accessibility notes, approach route and nearby streets before you start walking.
