Medical Care on the French Riviera – What German/International Patients Should Know

Anyone living or vacationing on the French Riviera wants to be well-cared for in case of illness – and be able to communicate. The good news: In the Nice and Cannes region, there are numerous doctors who speak English, and some even German. Below is an overview of the most important emergency numbers, as well as a selection of medical professionals from various specialties. By the way, the emergency room in French is called "Urgences".
