Dog Souvenirs: None of that in your home?

    If you have a dog in Paris, you'd better clean up after it, otherwise they'll fine you 183 Euros (if they catch you).

    This poster on the garbage truck reads:
    "Pas de ça chez vous? Paris c'est chez vous!"

    Meaning:
    None of that in your home? Paris is your home!

  • I guess this is natural and normal in many European cities (at least in some Spanish ones that I have in mind as in Cadiz we used to say (Cuidado Minas!)

    But here in Paris in can be worst!

    Here in Spain is fined is they find you not cleaning the poo, so I guess in France should be the same, but I never saw anyone taking care of it lol

    jusqu'à la mort

    It's a world-famous plague : dogs in Paris... I was walking in a street while I saw this one barking alone in the car... I decided to bother it as much as it could bother me....

    C'est bien connu : les chiens a Paris sont une plaie. Je marchais dans une rue quand j'apercus celui-ci en train d'aboyer... J'ai decide de l'ennuyer autant qu'il pouvait m'ennuyer moi ...

  • Don't laugh at this little piece of advice, but when walking in Paris, look down, not up!

    Dog excrement is still one of the city's major problems, with no solution in sight. So until one is found, watch out for your shoes!

    Do not be too occupied by the wonders and beauty of the sites of Paris as they may distract you from lookin where you step! 'La crotte' as they like to call it, means that if you're not careful you carry a nasty little surprise back to your hotel or appartement!

  • As much as I love France but got fed up stepping in French dog ***.
    Instead of looking around and enjoying the view, one should watch where to put one foot.
    NOT NICE!!!

    If you are in Paris you will be walking. A lot! Like most big cities, Paris has many dog lovers. Unlike most American big cities, there isn't a major emphasis on the "pooper scooping." As a result and basic mathematics, while in Paris, you run the high probability of stepping in Dog Crap.

    Be forwarned, anywhere in Paris has it. Especially be careful in the morning when most Parisan's walk their dogs who lay "golden souvenoirs" of feces everywhere along all sidewalks.

    I had a few close calls this time but was lucky.

    Be careful!

    On positive side, if you are superstitious, there is a chinese saying that essentially says: "If you step in dog poo, you will have good luck."

  • The only unfortunate thing about Paris is that it was a little more dirty than I anticipated. Watch out for the animal droppings on the sidewalk, as it is out there more than you think!

    Parisians love their dogs. They love them a lot. They love them so much that one sure way to separate the tourists from the locals is that the locals look down when they walk. For a while, I think there was a publc service campaign with a slogan along the lines of 'If you love Paris, don't let this happen ...' I, unfortunately, can say from personal experience that the campaign didn't quite work.
