This question relates to:French lesson "Chez = at someone's place (French Prepositions)"
Asked 5 years ago
Hi Ivy,
You can say -
Je vais chez le pharmacien/la pharmacienne ( pharmacist)
or
à la pharmacie ( shop)
Hope that helps!

Whenever the location signifies a person, you use chez. Chez le docteur, chez le pharmacien, chez moi, etc.
Otherwise it is à: à l'hôpial, à la pharmacie, à la maison, etc.
