Eh, it's not. The US also has good bakeries, just not on every street corner. In Paris, walk 5 blocks and you'll pass at least one bakery and 37 pharmacies[1].

[1] - No joke, standing in the street outside my apartment in Paris I could see green cross signs from 7(!) different pharmacies without moving just by looking in different directions.

- jakub_g 6y agoYep pharmacies are everywhere in FR just behind a corner (as well as immobiliers). I was in shock when I went to Amsterdam and after walking around for half an hour didn't come across any and had to look up on Google Maps. Unlike other countries, in FR only pharmacies can sell drugs, no regular shops / supermarkets (even basic stuff like paracetamol), and I guess that's the reason why there are so many of them.
