That's funny about the tap water. Remember my first visit to France as a kid (~late 70s) and the whole family wondering at the stuff floating in Paris tap water. We did not touch it, and drank bottled water. Btw, this was in a very nice rented flat near Etoile on Ave. Victor Hugo.
- pintxo 5y agoMostly the water provided by the municipality is drinking water quality in Europe. But sometimes the building and its water pipes will be so old that the pipes leak metals into the water.
- eternalban 5y agoNo metals, this was white fluffy stuff floating in the water. And it was relatively a luxury apartment. Again this was 1977 so that's almost ancient history.
- BrandoElFollito 5y agoThis is not normal. I was a kid at the same time and lived in Versailles. We only drank tap water and it was encouraged (the price of bottled water is about 300x the tap water one). There must have been something seriously wrong with that water - water in France is classified as food and follows very strict regulations.
