If you need a refill right away or are looking for over-the-counter medications for flu or headache relief, forget about finding a corner pharmacy in Paris – they just don’t exist. In France, only pharmacies can sell most over-the-counter medicines and remedies. And unlike many supermarkets in North America, French counterparts almost never have in-store pharmacies.
To spot a pharmacy as you walk through town, look for a flashing green cross above the door. And if you need one in the middle of the night or at a strange time, check out this guide to Paris pharmacies that are open late or 24 hours a day.
