Boutique bathrooms don't come any more chic than those at the Carrousel de Louvre shopping centre in Paris. The entrance to the toilets, which are known as Point WC, looks like an upscale shop front, and inside you can use a hi-tech Japanese "spa" toilet, which performs more than 20 cleansing functions. Afterwards you can buy toilet accessories such as multi-coloured loo paper, extravagant seat covers and other posh potty products.
