*The Espace Chiens are set up around the city and are little sandy or dirt pits (sort of like sandboxes) with some fencing around them for the dogs to do their business. Yes, that is right, in France dogs have their own public toilets…gotta love it. Furthermore, while these “espaces” are used regularly there is still a prodigious amount of poo on the sidewalks. When you walk around France it is best to keep an eagle eye.
