Argentine Tourists’ Paris Rental TikTok Goes Viral After Toilet Hunt

Separate toilet rooms are common in older European homes for hygiene and design reasons.

Overview

  • A TikTok by user @vickyauditore shows friends touring a Paris apartment, finding showers with no toilets before locating a separate small room with the WC.
  • The clip, titled “POV: Alquilás un departamento en París,” starts as a house tour of the kitchen, living area and bedrooms before the bathroom confusion unfolds.
  • Engagement has surged, with Los Andes reporting roughly 1.7 million views and 250,000 likes, following earlier tallies from Argentine outlets that cited rapid growth.
  • Coverage explains that in Paris and several European countries the toilet is often placed in its own room, reflecting historical hygiene norms, aesthetic preferences and plumbing constraints.
  • Reporters also note practical benefits cited by residents, such as allowing one person to shower while another uses the toilet, as commenters reacted with amusement and surprise.
