It has certainly been my experience traveling in France that there is a lot of dog poop on the sidewalks. The first thing I did on our visit to the Loire Valley was step in so much dog poop that I had to pressure wash it off my shoes. In Montpellier we watched the city worker in a special machine cleaning up poop. (Maybe I have a photo of that!!)

The Italians do it, the British do it, but the French and Germans just can't be bothered. Which country's dog owners clear up after their pooch's mess?
From the article: "Toby Massey, co-founder of Beco Pets, found that French dog owners expect their pet’s mess to be picked up by the country’s army of municipal street sweepers and are loathe to do so themselves"
It makes sense to me. The one time I took a dog for a walk and had to scoop up, it was kind of disgusting.
