* For a list of contraceptive options available in France, click [http://contraceptive.ippf.org/search?search.searchtext=&search.component=&search.countrycode=FR here].
* If you don't yet have a prescription for birth control, it can be easily obtained by visiting an ob/gyn, a primary care physician or a midwife. If you have a foreign prescription, you should bring your prescription and an empty packet, if possible, to a pharmacist for refill. You can say, “Pourriez-vous me dépanner avant que j’obtienne une nouvelle ordonnance?” They may sell you a 1-3 month supply, especially if you promise to go to a doctor or a midwife soon.

Without French insurance (Sécu), most brands of the pill will cost between 2 and 15 euro for a month's supply. If you have Sécu, some pill brands are partially covered, along with Depo-Provera and diaphragms. The patch, rings (like Nuvaring), spermicide and cervical caps are not covered by Sécu, so you'll need to pay 100%.<ref>[http://www.blog.parisunraveled.com/what-kinds-of-contraception-are-readily-available-in-france/ What kinds of contraception are readily available in France?]</ref>

In France, abortion, or "“Interruption Volontaire de Grossesse” (IVG), is legal for up to 14 weeks after pregnancy (i.e. week 12 of gestation, week 14 after first day of last menstrual period). During this period, all reasons for an abortion are accepted, including to save the life of the woman, to preserve physical health, to preserve mental health, rape or incest, risk of fetal impairment, economic or social reasons, or available on request. However, there are certain protocols to follow. Before a voluntary abortion, women are given the option to seek counseling. If they are non-emancipated minors, they are required to seek counseling. During this consultation, women will meet with a person who "has satisfied qualified training as a marriage counselor or any other qualified person in a facility for information, consultation, or family counseling, a center for planning or family education, a social service, or another approved organization." Once the consultation is complete, women will receive a certificate of counseling. If minors wish to keep this consultation confidential or not share this information with their parents, they may choose any adult to serve as a referral.<ref>[http://worldabortionlaws.com/map/ World Abortion Laws: France]</ref>

In terms of facilities and physicians, physicians are not required to perform voluntary abortions. However, if they refuse to offer services, they must inform prospective patients of facilities/physicians that will perform abortions. Note that abortions may only take place in health facilities, public hospitals or private hospitals. The only exception is if an agreement has been made between the practitioner or a center for family education, family planning or a health center, and legal facilities will be determined by the State Council.<ref>[http://worldabortionlaws.com/map/ World Abortion Laws: France]</ref>

French abortion laws were significantly liberalized in 2014. In the past, abortions were only permitted when continuing the pregnancy would put “her in a situation of distress.” With the changes, signed by  French President François Hollande, women could access abortions on request.<ref>[http://time.com/3086892/france-abortion-law-gender-equality/ France Eases Abortion Restrictions in Sweeping Equality Law]</ref>. In 2016, the one week "reflexion period" was abolished. Under present law, only those women who have sought counseling are required to wait two days before they confirm their wish for an abortion. However, some hospitals will require a letter from a physician or family counselor before making an appointment. This is not legal, but widely required.
