Pharmacies
Pharmacies sport a green neon cross. Paris has a rota system of 'pharmacies de garde' at night and on Sunday. If closed, a pharmacy will have a sign indicating the nearest one open.
Staff can provide basic medical services like disinfecting and bandaging wounds (for a small fee) and will indicate the nearest doctor on duty.
Parapharmacies sell almost everything pharmacies do but cannot dispense prescription medication. Toiletries, sanitary products and cosmetics are often cheaper in supermarkets.
