In comparison, walking in a city like Paris you can't walk more than 2min without stumbling across a (well-indicated) pharmacy. In some European cities, pharmacies are almost as common as telephone booths and certainly more numerous than post offices or even banks.
But why do you need a real pharmacy when most drug stores have an attending pharmacist?
