Emergency Situations

Public Assistance

When Help Needed: - French generally helpful in emergencies - Ask clearly and directly - "Au secours!" for immediate danger - Find uniformed personnel - Pharmacies provide basic help - Police generally responsive

Inclusive Tip: Emergency Accessibility

If you have disabilities or medical conditions, carry information in French explaining your needs. Emergency responders are trained to help but clear information speeds assistance. The European emergency number 112 works throughout France.
