How to find the duty pharmacy

Deep night: go through the police if asked
Between midnight and 6 AM, duty pharmacies in many departments work behind closed shutters: call 3237 first, or the local police station / gendarmerie (17 in an emergency), who will direct you and notify the pharmacist.

Bring your prescription and insurance
For French residents the duty fee is largely covered with a prescription and Carte Vitale. Visitors should pay, keep the receipt and claim from their travel or home insurer (EHIC/GHIC where applicable).
