In French, how could you say where are the nearest toilets? |
If it's -Ou sont les toilettes- and -Le plus proch- |

A lesson to be drawn from your question and the responses is that one needn't use more language than required, especially when its a language you don't speak.
Now maybe you were thinking of asking a random stranger on the street to direct you to a toilet but I suspect you're thinking of how to ask for the toilet when in a cafe or bar or some other establishment.
Under those circumstances its unnecessary to add "nearest" since presumably if you ask the waiter in the cafe you're drinking in where the toilet is he's not going to send you to one that's in the next block.
Nor, for that matter is "where are" really required since the mention of "toilette" should be sufficient to convey to a person of reasonable intelligence that you are looking for one.
So "s'il vous plait...Toilette? " should be quite enough with a sincere "merci" when you are pointed in the correct direction. |

où sont les toilettes les plus proches ? |

Those other answers are pretty good, but don't forget 's'il vous plait, Madame, Monsieur?' and 'merci beaucoup, au revoir, Madame, Monsieur!' when you're done.
Small things like manners count in some parts of the world. |

You could say,: "Ou sont les toilettes les plus proches?" But just looking desperate and saying "Toilettes!" will get you the same response.
The biggest problem with asking questions in a foreign language is that you won't understand the reply. |

où sont les toilettes les plus proches d'ici? can't go wrong with that coz it means where are the nearest toilets from here. |

Oui est la toilette si vous plait or plural if you prefer. The toilette gives it away. |

I know :
Ou est les toilettes?
Which means where are the toilets which is probably easier than saying where are the neartest toilets |
