If you are wanting to take home some French beauty products at discount prices to assist you in achieving the ‘best possible version of yourself on the outside’, City Pharma is famous for their stocked shelves of beauty products at lower prices than most of the innumerable pharmacies you will run across, on almost every corner in Paris.

You can see by the number of people standing outside what’s in store for you once you make it inside. I believe the car parked illegally near the front door in my photo is a ‘car and driver’ situation with the driver patiently waiting outside to whisk away the shopper(s) when they make their escape from the crowd! Almost always a busy scene, heading out earlier in the morning may help you get a jumpstart on the sure-to-be waves of shoppers throughout the day into evening shopping hours. Here are the stats:

Hours:

Paris Perfect has written a great article, including tips, spelling out what to expect when you are inside the store. The article points out some of the writer’s favorite products that might also interest you. When I have shopped there, the check-out line was so long that I made my way upstairs and discovered the ‘no prescription’ line was much shorter, affording me the pleasure to scoot out of there, on the quick side:

There are some serious purchasers in there with a number of security people overseeing the action! Join in the fun but remember to leave room in your checked baggage, as most of the products will not pass the check-in luggage requirements!
