Alternate take - the toilets in Europe, while a euro or two, are actually nice and relatively well maintained. And relatively common.

So while you do have to keep a few coins on you, unlike cities like NYC or SF you can actually go to the toilet when you want and it isn’t a stress inducing nightmare wondering what sort of hell you are going to run across if you do actually find a toilet.

Places with ‘free water’ almost always have terrible water availability and quality. Same problem.

The ones I used in Paris recently were no better, one worse, than any other free public toilet. IMO tourist taxes should be the thing paying for it.
