This Belle Époque public restroom in Paris has been restored to its former glory, but costs about $2 to use
After more than a century of operation, the Lavatory de la Madeleine closed in 2011 because it wasn't being used enough to cover maintenance costs.Paris committed to renovating and reopening the toilets as a functional historic monument in 2015.
Restoration work was completed in January to return the woodwork, windows and tiles to their former glory. Not everything is from the previous century, however. The toilets, as well as the basins and faucets, have been replaced with modern equivalents, The Guardian reported."Spending a penny" at the Lavatory de la Madeleine isn't cheap. Admission is 2 euros to cover the cost of a full-time attendant and cleaning.
