Question

Can I drink the tap water in France (paris, reims)?

Answer 1

yessssssssss you can. Most people drink bottled water, but the regular tap water is totally safe. You just have to ask for carafe d'eau. I prefer bottled water and if you just ask for water, the waiters will assume you want bottled water unless you ask for carafe d'eau. But, it's totally safe and you will see locals drinking the water. :)

Answer 2

Holy God, of course you can't! It's non healthy! And you know, that is why we only drink wine. In Reims, there's no tap water but Champagne coming to your bathroom. In south of France, where I live, it's Pastis.

I should tell you that we don't have what you call hot water. But some politicians want to build a big purification station in the center of the country to allow people, at least, to wash their hands safely.
