We’re not sharing breaking news by stating that France is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Paris, Provence, and the French Riviera are all fabulous reasons to go, but TikTok seems to have discovered another.
According to the social media platform, French pharmacies are worth a visit.
A beauty influencer, who goes by the handle @glowwithava, told her 1.7 million followers that the drugstore is her first stop when she lands from America. According to her, there is a wide range of skin and beauty products sold in France that cannot be found in the US.

@glowwithava is not alone in her quest, however.
Other TikTok users have jumped on the trend, creating videos with their own pharmacy beauty hauls. One showcased how brands like Caudalie and La Roche Posay are far cheaper in Europe than state-side, while another gave a tour of what she deemed “the most important landmark in Paris.”

“No, it’s not the Eiffel Tower,” Elizabeth Victoria Clark explains. “[It] is CityPharma which is located on Rue de Four in the 6th arrondissement.”
The hashtag #FrenchPharmacy has more than 130 million views on TikTok, so don’t be surprised if you see it offered in your next French itinerary.
