Employees are nice enough but not super helpful.

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.

After a fall, my husband suffered a broken neck, broken wrists, broken nose, broken eye socket and…read moremultiple bruises and was admitted to the Intensive care unit. The initial care in keeping him alive and when operated on was very good but the follow up care was appalling with the following issues: 1. only checked every six hours in intensive care 2. restrained to the bed with leather straps for all limbs - when I complained was informed this was normal practice for someone who is agitated and they did not have enough staff to monitor the situation- no consideration was given to the fact that both wrists were broken 3. Had to request on several occasions for him to be washed/ cleaned 4. Lack of information - staff were rotated every two days so no one could give full prognosis - no care plan evident. Contradictory information was given by different shifts. 5. Even after 4 weeks no effort was made for physio or rehabilitation again due to staff shortages. Still restrained and in bed. 6. Very little assistance given to feeding bearing in mind both wrists were broken After 6 weeks without progress, it was decided to repatriate back to the UK and within 20 minutes of arrival at ICU unit was able to weight bear and attend to personal needs with little assistance. It was then discovered that the wrists were not properly set but now too late for this to be corrected. So I cannot state that France has the best care .

I did find another item and I showed the staff person what it was called on my cellphone. She recognized it immediately and went to retrieve it. Good customer service and easily accessible by anyone given the central location for tourists.
