Why are there so many pharmacy's in Paris?
The Pharmacist is a very important figure in France; he is highly qualified, and is the first person you go to with a medical problem. As the French are great hypochondriacs and usually only need simple remedies that the pharmacist can supply, this is quite a profitable business. The pharmacist also has a hand in various routine medical procedures; for example, if you need a blood test, you will go to a nurse for the sampling, but to the pharmacy to collect the results. Finally, the pharmacist in France has an absolute monopoly of all medication other than the herbal; you cannot buy pain-killers in a French supermarket, you have to go to a pharmacy.

Next to the Pont de l'Archevéché there is a depth gauge with '1910' marked on it very near the top. At one end of the Pont-Neuf (though it takes some finding) there is an engraved line marked '1910'.
The most famous marker for Paris floods, though, is the statue of a Zouave on the Pont de l'Alma. Although the bridge gas been replaced since 1910 and three of the four soldier statues have gone, the Zouave is still there, at the same level. In 1910 the water came up to his shoulders.
