Emergency Numbers
These numbers can be dialed toll-free from any phone:
- General Emergency 112
- Police 17
- Ambulance (SAMU) 15
- Fire 18
- SOS burns (Hôpital Cochin) 01 58 41 41 41
- Poison treatment center 01 40 05 48 48
- Sexually-transmitted diseases 01 40 78 26 00

To report a theft: do not call the police emergency number if you’ve been pick-pocketed or robbed (unless the thief is still in your room); instead you’ll need to go to the closest Police Prefecture. It’s a horribly long process, but may be necessary for your insurance company.
