Night and Sunday duty pharmacy in Sens
Outside normal opening hours, France runs a rotating duty system called the "pharmacie de garde". To find tonight's duty pharmacy in Sens, call 3237 (24/7, €0.35/min, English rarely spoken — have the town name ready) or check the notice posted on any pharmacy's window. A duty fee applies (rates since January 2025): €6 on Sundays and public holidays, €10 in the evening (8 PM–midnight) and early morning (6–8 AM), €20 in the deep night (midnight–6 AM). French residents with a prescription and Carte Vitale get these surcharges reimbursed.
Visiting Sens? How French pharmacies work
Unlike in the UK or US, over-the-counter medicine in France is sold only in pharmacies — supermarkets don't stock painkillers or cold remedies. Pharmacists are trained to give first-line advice for minor ailments and can often save you a doctor's visit. Prescriptions issued in the EU/EEA are generally accepted if the medicine is authorised in France. With a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC/GHIC) you still pay at the counter, then claim reimbursement from your home insurer — keep the receipt.
