"Emergency services in France are generally reliable and efficient. In the event of an emergency, the best way to call for an ambulance is to dial the number 15, which is the national emergency number for medical services. The operator will then direct the call to the nearest ambulance service. It is important to provide as much information as possible, such as the exact location of the emergency, the type of emergency, and any other relevant information," explained one expat living in France.
"~2 km (other side of town) Hospital Center Emile Durkheim Emergency services great -- doctors speak English but with some hesitance. I went with a broken wrist and received thorough treatment with x-rays and a cast, all taking just a couple hours. If you indicate you speak French, they'll speak very quickly. But they do explain in simple English if needed. Public hospital," said another in Epinal, France.
