ISTR my
French teacher warning that asking for the toilet in FR will often get
you directed to a bathroom with only washing facilities.

In French, the question "oł sont les toilettes ?" will get you
directed to where you need to go if you've had too much coffee.

Italians, on the other hand, euphemistically use the word "bagno",
(bathroom) to mean the same place.
