Can't remember when I last saw a bidet in France. They all seem to have
been ripped out. Always been useful for socks!


The villa we stayed at outside Florence last month had one. So they
still exist in Italy.

Almost every bathroom in Italy has a bidet. You even see them in
public restrooms.

One Italian I know was offended when I mentioned that I thought bidets
originated in France. He insisted they were an Italian invention; I
have doubts since the word, both in Italian and English, seems to
derive from the French.

(From the french for 'to trot', so says my Longman's.. Not the sense
of the trots, but rather of sitting astride a little horse. Hmm.)
