Pharmacies are open from Monday to Saturday, Sunday and at night, there are on-call pharmacies which are there for those who come out of the hospital emergency room or a night doctor for example! For shops, we quickly get used to making our shopping lists and doing them during the week, it's not a problem!!
When a pharmacy is closed, there is always a notice that you can read on a window or a door: the name and adress and opening hours of the nearest "pharmacies de garde" and the useful phone numbers. So people can access a pharmacy 7/7 and 24/24 and 365/365
@@AnnaSandersonEng There legally must be a pharmacy on duty at any moment, any day. If you don't know where the closest one is, call the fire brigade or the police, they'll tell you.
Les bus en TAD. There are some bus routes which are ONLY en TAD (they have them also in my country), and in France some rural railway stations as well. You have to get used to it.
hi Anna; loved your video and am now a subscriber: i live in france, and have done so for 16 years: i am English; and agree very much with your thoughts on the culture: parisiens are supposed to be rude, but i have had some good friends from paris in the past: i also have 2 russian friends that live here permanently. French people are really lovely; happy to help and look out for you: thanks for your thoughts on this great country:
medical center (hospital) and are open they have on sundays thats called "de garde" you have always one pharmacy open on sundays hollydays in each town you have also emergency doctors or ambulance that you can call
Usually you have a list on the pharmacy itself, or you may need to call the police office to ask for the on call pharmacy. On small City the pharmacy will open only if you have a prescription and if its an urgency (don't hope to buy tylenol if you have a small headache). In Paris you have 3 pharmacy open h24 7/7
@@AnnaSandersonEng Yes, in Paris people will talk to you more often than some other parts of France. The bus reservation is not a common think. I guess they came up with that system because they had empty buses but they still have to maintain public transport. I've spent more than 20 years in France and I would find it weird too.

I dont think you can compare any capitol city (Paris, or Moscow etc.) to a seaside town in Latvia.!!! It's like going from one end of the world to another.!!
No, i am french, and i can tell: it is dirty everywhere. I have battled a good friend for years before he would just throw his trash on the ground as if it belonged to him. I don't know how Latvia is, but France could definitely improve on this (and many other) regards.

7:27 Nope, the phrase doesn't say to call one hours in advance, no. It says to call at least *one week* (!) in advance. And this isn't culturally French. It's culturally Caenean.
@emjizone Im' sorry to say that you are wrong, the phrase says one Hour in advance minimum, the one week is for group of 10 people. I've lived in the countryside around Toulouse and we was have got this service. It could looks complicated, but in the same time it's logical, it's few people that need those buses, so they can't have a regular line on those roads. Most of the people living far of the city have cars.
9:41 Yeah...sometimes you don't expect that from an evil, ultra-individualistic, ultra-capitalist country. 😂 Actually, it really depends on where you live in France or in the city, the local politics and the existing local social organizations, and the time period and circonstances. There are forgotten places where nobody comes because they are too remote, and other places where there are too many people in need for everyone to stop and help you as they see you. In general, French citizens will help to some extent if you ask, especially if you are a woman alone or with a child (in my experience, men are still considered more independent and a little less worthy of help, unless they are visibly in danger). Getting help without asking is not guaranteed, and it's quite possible that no one will care or notice that you are in need.

Its not common to approach people in the street too in France 🤔 very weird
Well, in Paris it happened to me quite often, so I guess it depends

Your vlog made me smile. You're funny, especially about the rats. Hope I don't "meet" any on my upcoming trip to Paris.
Thank you! I hope that too 😭
You must dial 3237 on your phone to find the pharmacy on duty
Wow, thank you!
@@AnnaSandersonEng You're welcome.

It's true but this small city in Latvia can be much more comfortable in terms of urbanism than those two cities mentioned above, so 😂
