Pharmacy on the move

[Admiral]

My favourite pharmacy in France is on the move.

It's the pharmacy in Adriers where my chums M. Jean and Mme Melena practice their dark arts.

According to Doc Marie they are up-rooting from their current location opposite the church and moving to the front of the building where the doc has her surgery.

That building, from memory, has been various incarnations of restaurants over the past few years.  All of which failed.

Don't know when the move will take place but they are well worth the visit even if you don't live in Adriers.  Service with a smile, a hefty portion of humour    and most of it delivered in English - to varying degrees - although they both like to hear you try out your French language skills.

They are a much needed breath of fresh air compared to the grumpy, automated, humourless so-called "service" at the pharmacy in Leclerc.....where even the queueing system    is baffling to say the least.

Just thought you'd like to know.....

Thanks for the tip-off Admiral. Jean and Melena are a breath of fresh air in Pharmacy land.

The work on Adriers' new Health Complex is progressing fairly slowly and it didn't look anything like ready for opening when I was in Adriers yesterday. I popped into the Mairie to ask if they knew when it would open. I was very pleased when they did: "Bientôt" they said. So probably some time in the next six months.

The new pharmacy will be in Rue des Tilleuls in, opposite the spacious (why???) free car park and a few doors down from the Bar des Tilleuls which I can recommend for a coffee or glass of wine while waiting for your pizza from the Wood Oven Pizza Van that visits every Friday.
