Apparently they figured free sparkling water was good use of tax payer money.

>>Because tap water is so passé, the French capital decided to give their public drinking fountains a carbonated upgrade.<<

Want to make a European waiter's head explode? Ask for tap water.

It's amusing.

although for Parisians, it's relatively normal- they ask for "carafe d'eau" which is a pitcher of tap water for the table. Not so common at a fancier restaurant, but at a cafe, brasserie or most normal restaurants, it's perfectly acceptable.

The bubbles help clean the immigrants who bathe in the fountains.

I guess the Germans are a bit more finicky in the restaurants. I haven't spent much time in France.
