Visiting from the United States in July 2024, I went to this pharmacy to purchase some French…read morefacial creams and other products. I was assisted by the manager, Mr. Le Roux, at first, and then by a pleasant female co-worker. The manager apologized later for transferring me to his colleague, but explained he had a phone appointment just about the time I came in to the store. I used my limited French at first, but both were able to speak to me in English and transitioned pretty quickly. During my transfer over to the female colleague, I inadvertently left my wallet on the first counter with all my Euros and US dollars in it (there was no ID). My credit cards and ID were in another wallet. I didn't realize this wallet was missing until the next day when I was in Giverny and I wasn't returning to Paris until 5 days later. Since Pharmacie Charles Michels was the last place I shopped at, I was hoping I had left it there. I had an interpreter call the pharmacy to explain my problem and indeed they had my wallet. They knew it was mine, but because there was no ID in it they had no idea how to contact me. They had been waiting for my phone call! I returned to the pharmacy on July 3, 2024, and picked up my wallet with all the cash intact! There are honest and kind people all over the world and I am so grateful for Mr. Le Roux and his team at Pharmacie Charles Michels! They would not accept a reward for finding and keeping my wallet safe until I returned to Paris. I will definitely return to their store and I would highly recommend them to everyone! Merci beaucoup!

On my trip to Paris, one thing that has surprised me and always does abroad, is how Pharmacies are…read moreso different compared to what we are used to in the UK, most pharmacies abroad seem to be smaller brands, all named Pharmacie and then something or other, and not the typical Boots, Superdrug or Well, that we are used to in the United Kingdom, this is kind of nice yet really confusing and interesting for me. Back to my original review, this is quite a nice, fairly decent size pharmacy in Charles Michels area of Paris, right next to a Starbucks Coffee and near the Beaugrenelle mall, where there are many shops including Marks and Spencer and a Monoprix, but as far as I'm aware there isn't a pharmacy so this is much needed. I called in here, while on vacation in Paris, not feeling very well, I was looking for some liquid paracetamol as tablets didn't seem to be agreeing with me, it was a little hard to explain due to the language barrier but I did find some, and it was quite reasonably priced too for 3 euros, and I'm glad the member of staff didn't try to take advantage of me, firstly being very ill and secondly being British, speaking English and I probably would have paid 10 euros, being so unwell and not having a full idea of what the prices should be in France, especially Paris which is such an expensive coffee, where you can pay double or treble the price of coffee in a normal cafe than in the UK. They did have a decent selection of stuff, but the staff didn't seem too helpful, she constantly had to check with someone else, and they didn't seem like a trainee either, I'm not really sure why. I also had to run out of the building, as I felt so unwell, I was surprised that no one come to see if I was okay, or pass me some tissues, instead I had to ask a french person who very kindly was passing by and tried to help, but still I'm surprised the pharmacist didn't and seemed more interested in getting the money than doing there job, I know it wasn't really there job, but if they did come and check up on me and ask if I was okay, that would have been nice. This Pharmacy is basically average but still due to a lack of branding, standing out from the crowd and poor staff I sadly feel this doesn't deserve anything over than two stars, I'm sorry to report.

My wife came down with a painful sore throat and fever the day we arrived in Paris. Coming from the…read moreUS, we weren't sure how we were going to get any medical attention so we just managed the symptoms with some Tylenol and ibuprofen. We came across this pharmacy close to our hotel and our original intention was to load up on some skincare products (which they have a TON of at great prices). In the US, we don't really ask our pharmacists for medical advice but we were quite surprised with how helpful the pharmacies are here in France. They triaged my wife's symptoms and even ran a strep test, Covid test and flu test to see what medication would be best. I was ready to leave my wife in Paris if she was positive for any of the above conditions but unfortunately the tests all came back negative within a matter of minutes. Darn But all jokes aside, the pharmacy was super clean and organized, the whole process was streamlined and done all under one roof, and the pharmacist was very personable and helpful. Great sense of humor as well! So if you're ever in town and in need of any kind of medical advice/remedy, I would definitely check this place out. But even if you're not sick, it's worthwhile to stop by because they carry a lot of great beauty products for a fraction of what you would pay in the US. It's too bad we have to return to our broken American medical system next week!

We are tourist from the US and need conversion of our CDC card to French Health Pass and covid test…read moregoing back to the US, this place is the place to be. Manager Pascal is very friendly and entertaining! He made it very easy for us and plus points we can converse easy with him on English. Thank you Pascal and for making our trip easy !

I know it says pharmacy but if you are looking for some shampoo, soap or other travel necessities,…read moreI would suggest going to the nearby grocery stores as they would sell 'cheaper' brands such as Nivea, Dove, Pantene...etc. On my first day in Boulogne, I didn't know the area very well and needed shampoo. Pharmacie Mersier is right across the street from my hotel. The pharmacy is very small with not a lot of choices, mostly local brands. Only one I recognized was Occitane en Provence. I got a bottle of shampoo and body wash for 30 euros :/ it was only after that that I found a grocery store that sold Pantene and Dove for 5 euros! The staff were very friendly and store very cute and cozy but I probably wouldn't come back if I'm ever in the area and needed travel supplies.
