* 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>

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.
