To ask for the restroom in France, say "Où sont les toilettes, s'il vous plaît ?" (oo son lay twa-let, seel voo play), which translates to "Where are the toilets, please?". Always include "s'il vous plaît" (please) for politeness. You can also use "Où sont les toilettes?" or "Puis-je utiliser les toilettes ?" (May I use the toilet?).
Can I go to the toilet, please? Je peux aller aux toilettes ? Sir, can I go to the toilet please? Monsieur, je peux aller aux toilettes s'il vous plaît ?
Yes, the French absolutely say "je voudrais" (I would like), and it's the standard, polite way to make requests, especially when ordering food or asking for something in a shop, though natives also use "je vais prendre" or simply "un café, s'il vous plaît" for casual orders, while "je veux" (I want) is considered rude.

What is a Pissoir in French?
A pissoir (also known in French as a vespasienne) is a French invention, common in Europe, that provides a urinal in public space with a lightweight structure. The availability of pissoirs aims to reduce urination onto buildings, sidewalks, or streets.
Je voudrais means “I'd like.” It's the polite, conditional form of vouloir (to want), and it's what French speakers naturally use when ordering in cafés, restaurants, or making requests with strangers.
Noun. khazi (plural khazis) (slang, chiefly UK) An outhouse or lavatory: a place used for urination and defecation. (slang, chiefly UK) A toilet: a fixture used for urination and defecation (also figurative).
'Je veux' is considered rude in French and you would have to be pretty angry to tell you children or pupils ( if you are a teacher) that. "Le roi dit, nous voulons!" meaning even the king doesn't use 'Je veux' so who do you think you are! So that's probably why 'je voudrais' is the accepted answer.
A "ghost wipe" (or ghost poop) means having a bowel movement that is so well-formed and passes so cleanly that it leaves little to no residue on toilet paper after wiping, or disappears quickly in the bowl. It's generally considered a sign of excellent digestive health, indicating a good balance of fiber and water, proper hydration, and efficient nutrient absorption.
Knowing what to say when you're sick with diarrhea can be tricky. Neither you nor your boss want to discuss the details of your bowel movements. A good way to phrase this is: “I have a GI bug, and I won't be able to come to work.” If the diarrhea is related to a known food poisoning, you can bring this up, too.
