The city is experimenting with completely exposed, eco-friendly urinals.
The devices are called "Uritrottoir," which combines the words for urinal and pavement. They're not at all subtle. They're bright red and in heavily trafficked areas — for example, directly next to the Seine near the Notre Dame Cathedral.
And if there's any confusion, a large white and red sign with a red arrow and a cartoon of a man peeing probably clears it up.

How they gonna handle the girls who think they now are guys? Jeepers!
Gotta accomidate those muslim pigs. When i was in the Navy and went to pakistan. They all just pissed and shat on a small hill in town center
We need hundreds of these on the Boardwalk in OC.
These are all over Amsterdam. The design is more like a 4 place kiosk though. Much more becoming in public. If urinating in public can be... never mind.
10:08 bingo!
Is Salisbury next?
I'll bet that city smells a lot like New Orleans.
France, we should've let the Germans have it.
Jake Day,
Let's get some for the Fulk Festival!
Hey OC, are you seeing this?
Must be for the tourists, because Frenchmen squat to pee.
Millennials are daring each other to drink from them.
That's a grand idea! Men (real men, not the fake ones) don't need any bathroom stalls with toilets to take a 60 second whiz. We don't even need to take off any clothes. Those things are designed so there is no "indecent" exposure. Americans are such prudes, compared to Europeans. Bodily functions are treated as such in Europe. Everybody does it. It's natural and necessary. Accommodating men's needs should not be frowned upon any more than accommodating women's needs. I lived in Europe for two years, and found THEIR outdoor bathroom customs to be far more normal, than ours. We lock men up for answering nature's call, even when the act can't be seen, only implied by the way they are standing. "See" nothing, and get accused of a "crime." Americans are obsessed and stupid about bodily functions.
Some of my European friends used to point out what they thought about American manners by saying, "Americans will fart and laugh about it, while Americans will burp, and say excuse me." Both of those bodily functions in Europe will not even elicit a response from anybody. It is what it is....

I see you've never been to France.
Great idea
How sick is that?? I wouldn't even walk around it much less lay my body up against it like that. They could at least give them some privacy.
When I was a kid my father was stationed in Morocco with the Navy and one day we were driving through Rabat, the Capital, and some Muslim was laying on the ground like he was doing a push-up, but we knew he was peeing. After that, we saw them all the time peeing on the ground right in the middle of town.
What's even freakier is we lived on a fenced in Navy base and we were surrounded by Moroccans who were less civilized and living in grass huts. Much less civilized.

No, what's even freakier, is you, and the US Navy were invading their culture, when off base. They were as civilized as they wanted to be. The invaders should leave if it bothers them so much. They were happy before the navy got there, and they were happier when the navy left. Your father, and his compatriots then criticize local customs and culture while they are there (and after they leave), and give the local population the perception of Americans being arrogant and uncaring about them. All the while being a "guest" of their country. Shame on you. Your prudishness shines brightly.

Your xenophobia is obvious in your comment. You should talk with someone about that.
