Food and Drink

Bottled water is the best bet. Water sources outside main cities and towns may be contaminated and sterilisation is advisable. Milk is unpasteurised, so boil before drinking . Meat and fish should be freshly cooked and  served hot. Vegetables are typically served cooked. Eat fruit that can be peeled.Most produce is grown organically, without chemical pesticides or fertilisers.

Other Risks

Vaccinations against tuberculosis and hepatitis B are sometimes recommended.

Health Care

There are good medical facilities in all main cities, including emergency pharmacies (see postings in pharmacy windows listing the nearest pharmacie du garde, or after-hours pharmacy) and clinics in major hotels outside normal opening hours. Government hospitals provide free or minimal charge emergency treatment.
