Night and Sunday duty pharmacy in Thouars
Outside normal opening hours, France runs a rotating duty system called the "pharmacie de garde". In Deux-Sevres the 3237 hotline does not cover it: the duty rota for Thouars is published every month by ARS Nouvelle-Aquitaine, and every pharmacy posts it on its 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 Thouars? 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.

For prescriptions from outside the EU, dispensing is at the pharmacist's discretion — bring photo ID and, if possible, a prescription using the international (INN) drug name.
