Which number to call
Four numbers are worth memorizing before you need them. 15 reaches the SAMU for a medical emergency, 17 the police, and 18 the pompiers — the fire service, which in France also carries out most medical rescue and is often first to arrive. 112 works across the European Union and will route your call, and is the right choice when you are unsure. 114 receives text messages, for anyone who cannot speak or hear. All are free from any phone, including one with no credit, and the 15 and 112 operators can usually find an English speaker.
