I live in France 25 years ago they had lots of these systems but now there all normal bogs like in uk and us. You do still come across them now and again in small villages but not very oftain. And I will say I have been to America and France is a better place to live. But thats just my opinion.

@Hannible100 I have only saw these twice,dispite going to France 5 times,like you say it was in the smaller villages.Ive not been to America,but hope to visit in September,so dont know what its like to live there,but I admit I like France very much,one of my favourite countries.

I don't think my poop would fit down that drain.. I'm glad I live in America where we have real toilets. Those just seem so barbaric to me.

@xdunlapx Lol :D I admit I like this toilets for hygiene purposes only and that they so different,as we havent got these in the UK either :-)

@zewwibot America is new compared to the rest of the world. But we do pride ourselves on modern finishes. Toilets included. And I stand by my statement of being glad I live in America.

@xdunlapx Barbaric? You must be new in this world... Oh right, you're from America.

@xdunlapx I love how your toilet flush with the syphonic effect but they look to clog very easily, Infact I know what you mean with our squat toilets because I hate them myself but as mentionned they are very rare in France nowadays.

[xdunlapx]

@mikadodeFrance What do you mean "efficient"? Do they have more water power or less? I can't stand seeing a super low flow toilet on youtube or elsewhere in life because I always think to myself - wow I don't think my crap would ever go down, even with plunging." lol

[mikadodeFrance]

@xdunlapx These squats are rare nowadays and we have toilet bowls like the ones in US but our toilets look alot more efficient that the ones in America.

@mikadodeFrance I have been to France 5 times,and find these are in more village type areas than the big cities,this was in a carpark.Im glad I saw one as never saw any in Europe before.

I see your point on contamination with the bowls,these do seem more hygienic :-)
