And you thought Biot glass was the most exciting thing in that or this Department. A FR2DAY top tip when looking at property on the Riviera is always start with the most essential room of the house, 'The Throne Room'.  It says a lot about the owner or developer's taste and their dedication, or not, to quality fixtures and fittings.

Any avocado or peach means there hasn't been a refurb since the 70's. White leather or gold yells Austin Powers but it will generally mean that some money has been spent on the place. The taste point is moot. A chocolate brown loo and you may find yourself one day having a meltdown in decor hell. Though don't immediately throw the baby out with the bathwater if the Little Boy's Room screams 'wrong, all wrong', do consider a complete demolition of the house if the plot of land is worth it.

Some Basic Bowl Background. January 27th (1910) was the anniversary of the death of Sir Thomas Crapper - the Englishman who invented the flushing toilet and er...a very rude word. FR2DAY reckons that one of Sir Crapper's best customers just must've been that fabulous French artist Tou-louse Lautrec. Lautrec wasn't actually born in Toulouse and his middle name was Mary (Marie), which is quite irrelevant, but you could try to impress your guests with your abundance of useless facts during dinner in your fabulous new Riviera home.

And if you're selling an even better looking loo than this one (with a house attached, please) email us a photo, with the subject header 'The smallest room in the house'. One lucky winner will be selected by our Panel of Porcelain Professionals for a fabulous FR2DAY property feature.
