La Pharmacie Française is a health and beauty concept that started in Prague and has just opened its second location in Barcelona.
This family-run business, founded by Dr. Radka Středová and her daughter Adéla Chauville Středová, blends expertise in dermatology and pharmacy with a passion for French products and a particular fondness for Parisian pharmacies.
In the welcoming atmosphere of our Barcelona boutique, you’ll find the best in French dermocosmetics and perfumery: renowned brands like La Roche-Posay, Caudalie, and Nuxe, alongside popular French favorites such as Gamarde, Fer à Cheval, and Fragonard.
Our deep connection with France has inspired us for nearly 30 years. The French way of life—its joy, culture, cuisine, human connections, simplicity, and natural ease, not to mention the importance of taking time to enjoy a glass of wine—also reflects in their approach to beauty and health care. French dermocosmetics embody these values, combining them with skincare developed through years of research by dermatologists and scientists. French women, along with their families, regularly turn to pharmacies and para-pharmacies for skincare advice and daily care products. French perfumery, in this respect, is a global leader in the world of fragrance.
“This ambiance, the personal, professional, and friendly service, is what we aim to bring to the market, along with both traditional and innovative products that we hope our customers will love.”
— Dr. Radka Středová.
The idea of creating a space inspired by French pharmacies came about in the spring of 2020, when the family was split between Paris and Prague.
"In France, it was amazing how much empathy and willingness to help was felt in shops during such a difficult time," says Adéla Chauville Středová, who lives in Paris with her husband. “Our pharmacist, despite having fewer customers, always made time for us, offering advice with charm. The same was true in other stores, where you could chat about food, recipes, or anything else to keep your spirits up,” Adéla adds.
At La Pharmacie Française on Carrer del Rec, you’ll be greeted by health and beauty experts who are eager to assist you. We also believe it’s important for you to try the products, as cosmetics should suit you not only in their ingredients but also in their texture and fragrance, ensuring you enjoy using them.
