I walked into this pharmacy and I showed the pharmacist what I was looking for. He looked up his computer and asked me who was the beauty product intended for. I said "mama", then he said ok. They didn't have it in the store but can special order and got them ready for me before I leave. Both pharmacists were really nice. They didn't force me to speak French. Instead they spoke English to me. I asked them a few words of French and they taught me. I felt I was being treated with kindness. I definitely recommend this place.

I travel to Paris to stock up on all my skincare and pharmacy items, and this past trip was my first time at Monge. They did carry some items that CityPharma did not carry that I stocked up on, but I did notice that some of the prices were a bit higher. Overall this will be a staple stop for my future trips!

When I got there... there was a tourist bus parked outside and super packed inside! It was a tourist stop and filled with a lot of Asians with huge carts filled completely with products! I have to say, I stopped by several Pharmacies in my area before hitting this one up, and this place was so overwhelming! There was so many products from so many different brands, I didn't know what half the things I was looking at was! They have these little sheets posted with French, Korean and Chinese about the products and what they do. Unfortunately, nothing in English. There are a lot of pharmacists all over the place and some of them are very helpful, while others would rather spend their time talking to each other. There are several that speak a lot of different languages, I think I heard Korean and Japanese, and most of them speak a little bit of English. They have rotating deals so make sure you check out a couple of other pharmacies so you know if you're getting a good deal. This pharmacy had the most good deals, so if you only have time to go to one Pharmacy, I would suggest this one. Probably a good idea to go right when they open, because midday, with the tour buses parked outside, there is really no room to stroll around the place. I was always bumping into people and you can't stand in one place without people trying to squeeze by. Got some bioderma 2 pack 500 ml each for a little over 15 euros, they have some great gift sets too from bioderma, nuxe and caudalie. I got a pretty decent gift set with la roche posay sunscreen 50 spf 50 ml and it came with an aerosol thermal spring water spray 50 g for 8 euros. Lot of other great things here, the selection is pretty spectacular. TL;DR: if you only have time to visit one pharmacy, this is the one to visit. Make sure you go early and avoid all the tourists/tourist buses. There's a metro stop leading right to the front of the store, so easy transit if you buy a lot. Great deals! You could easily end up being here for hours if you don't go in knowing exactly what you need!

I went in hoping to coherently explain in my very mid French why a pharmacist at another pharmacy was only able to fill half of a prescription for my aunt (based on what that pharmacist had told me, in French, as I understood it). The look from the first of the two pharmacists at Place Rèpublique who helped us was that stereotypical French, chin down, eyebrows up, "Dear God, I have to deal with another tourist today?" face. But it only lasted a split second. She and her colleague looked at my aunt's paperwork, figured out the deal, and took care of us in short order. They answered all our questions, even the dumb ones (eg, "Are these mints Italian? Can you tell me what flavor they are? What does this [Italian word] mean?") I appreciated not only their help but also their patience.

Through observation, I noticed no one in Europe wore gloves yet, even though evenings in Brussels dropped to the low 30's. Paris still held an fighting stance against the impending cold. I happened across this one since it was on our way back to the Notre Dame area and stepped right in. Like all pharmacies in Europe, the staff here assist with any medication or other items considered topical. Other considered cosmetic are accessible by the customer. Wile they did not have the lotion I was looking for, they did have a sale on a handcream that I had found from a previous trip. Helpful, nice, and courteous, I had no problems making my purchase with my limited French.
