Neighbourhood pharmacy
A 10-minute walk from Gare du Nord, Pharmacie Bergère welcomes travellers and residents of the 10th arrondissement. Advice in French and English, travel health kits, international travel vaccines, and dispensing of European prescriptions.
Whether you are arriving in Paris, taking the Eurostar to London or the Thalys to Brussels, we can prepare your travel health kit in a few minutes: painkillers, anti-diarrhoeal medicines, disinfectants, dressings, motion sickness treatments, mosquito repellents, and advice tailored to your destination (Asia, Africa, South America…).
Our pharmacists administer vaccines recommended for travel: hepatitis A and B, diphtheria-tetanus-polio (dTP), rabies, and meningococcal vaccines. For specific vaccines (yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis), we refer you to international vaccination centres in the neighbourhood.
