EMERGENCY NUMBERS IN FRANCE.
We hope you'll never need to use these, but FYI, the number for an ambulance or medical help is 15. The police is 17 and the fire department is 18.
Our village is fortunate to have a health center where there are two generalists, nurses and other specialists. We also live right across from the Gendarmerie, which is the national police. https://www.angloinfo.com/how-to/france/healthcare/emergencies
