Pharmacie Principale - Boticinal

I was looking for a behind the counter medicine and the pharmacist quickly and kindly helped in English. This place also has a huge beauty and skincare selection! Great prices and offers and I received 3 free gift.

Dans une pharmacie, on aimerait que la pharmacienne ne juge pas nos maladies et les médicaments et traitements qu'on prend. C'est déjà assez difficile de l'accepter soi-même, si en plus la pharmacienne se permet une remarque sur le traitement, c'est difficile à accepter. Je ne reviendrai plus jamais.

Great?

Une vraie caverne d’Ali Baba au cœur du centre ville d’Avignon. L’agencement de la pharmacie est propice à la flânerie dans tous les rayons. L’accueil est très professionnel et souriant. Je vous invite à découvrir le côté botanique. Je recommande très chaleureusement cette pharmacie.

I'm doing this review in English because I want to warn foreigners against this pharmacy. The pharmacist here seems to have a problem with foreigners. If you aren't a native French speaker then I highly recommend you go elsewhere, as you will not be treated with any respect here. I was trying to fill a prescription, and when he heard that I had an accent, he asked me why I had a carte vitale (social security) if I 'couldn't speak french'. I told him that I could speak French, in fact I'd been speaking French the whole time to him, so it was an extremely obnoxious thing to say. I live, work and pay taxes in France and I have just as much right as anyone else to have access to healthcare. He kept asking my French husband and I if we were trying to cheat the healthcare system and 'rip him off' which was completely outrageous, especially because the thing I was buying was less than 2 euros. He even covered up the address on my prescription and asked me to repeat it to him, because he thought I was lying that the card was mine, even though it clearly has my photo on it. He also told us that we looked too young to be married (seemingly implying that it was a fake marriage), which is extremely judgmental and quite frankly none of his business. We're in our mid-late 20s and are clearly old enough to be married, not that it has any relevance to anything. He treated me with complete and utter disrespect because I wasn't born in France. It was completely out of line. Do not go here, there are plenty of other pharmacies with staff who will actually treat you with respect and a basic level of professionalism.
