Bonjour, mes amis! I’ve had my head down working on my recent YouTube video which takes you behind the scenes at an AMAZING French pharmacy. It is the video I’ve been the most excited to release since the pandemic started and maybe the video I’m the most proud of on my entire channel. I hope you’ll take a look….
French pharmacy tour
The kind owners of Pharmacie des Calins in Cholet, France, Mr. and Mrs. Habib opened up their pharmacy to my cameras and told us so many things that were not only interesting in and of themselves, but things that the average French customer wouldn’t even know about. So it’s really an inside look!
From the interesting products to the affordable prices to the health services they provide, French pharmacies are super interesting and may even surprise you. In the video, we meet some of the team at my favorite French pharmacy, so join me as we tour this French pharmacy, discover some trendy French pharmacy products, learn about the robot technology they use to fill prescriptions, and even look at how much two popular medications cost in France versus the USA.
!!!TURN ON SUBTITLES IN ENGLISH AND FRENCH IN YOUR SETTINGS!!!
From start to finish, this video’s production was about 20 hours. That includes coming up with the idea, storyboarding, scripting, filming the interviews and supporting clips (on different days), reviewing footage, editing, making the thumbnail and subtitling in both English and French.
If you enjoy this video, I would SO APPRECIATE IT if you gave it a thumbs up, left a comment, and shared it with your network. That’s a free way to support my channel and would mean a lot. 😉 It’s off to a verrrry slow start which is hugely disappointing.

MERCI!

I loved this! I had no idea about the robots, are they fairly common or is it a new technology? With my recent hip replacement this past month, I am becoming more and more acquainted and impressed with the French medical system and its affordability. This video was really well-presented and edited….you are becoming an expert!
Great video — informative and we really enjoyed it, especially the “robot” team! Thank you!
Fantastic video and great pharmacy!
One thing: the website for the pharmacy on the video seems to be http://pharmaciedescalins.com when I try the link from Canada. And I get an error message. On the other hand, the Google is telling me it’s http://pharmaciedescalins.fr.
Not that I can even get that (my browser keeps telling me it’s unsecured and then runs out of time – even using a French VPN connection). I’ll keep trying, though!
I miss Nuxe and the other brands. I’m not a great believer in a lot of skincare product hype but I am a total sucker for the luxurious feel and smells of them so whenever I visit my sister near Houdan, I spend a good 10 minutes after every shower rummaging around her skincare drawer looking for gorgeous combinations and end up at the local pharmacy buying a few for home.
Wonderful, Diane, and the comments after the video are great! We have a lot of work to do here in the US. You didn’t cover mushroom identification, which I think is an important service. Does every pharm. do that?
Thank you for all you do to explain life in France to us.
