Bad news bathrooms: Besides the hotels most of the bathrooms are communal or quickly turn communal as soon as the line at the women's "toilettes" gets to long. Michael was using the urinal and a woman just walked in. Also, some of them are just holes in the ground. Below you can see an example of this and the brown stuff left behind. Very smelly and no toilet paper. The third picture is of Sister Jane, Deborah Proctor and Michael all in the same bathroom as proof of the communal nature.
This is actually a very nice bathroom (for France) at the convent on Lyon. There were stalls for the toilets and urinals. But don't they look like one, big, happy family!
More bad news: Most of the young people (16 - 30) are smoking and every where you go smells like smoke. Also, there is graffiti all over. Even in good neighbotrhoods, on churches, and on schools.
Now, isn't this nicer! Lyon is a major fashion center and you could burn alot of plastic here. But the people look very simple. Usually carrying, bread, wearing funky shoes and riding bicycles or scooters no matter how old they are.
