France Travel Adapters
Type C and Type E • 230 volts • 50 Hz
France is a country in Western Europe bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, and several neighboring nations including Spain, Italy, Germany, and Belgium. The capital city is Paris. Known for its historic landmarks, cuisine, and cultural influence, France features diverse landscapes ranging from Alpine mountains and Mediterranean coastlines to rural countryside and historic cities.
France uses mains electricity supplied at about 230 volts at 50 Hz. Wall outlets use Type C and Type E sockets. Travelers from regions that use different plug types should bring a compatible travel adapter. Visitors should confirm that their electronic devices support 100–240V input or use an appropriate voltage converter if necessary.

Plug types are listed because they are encountered in at least some installations. Presence may be partial, legacy, mixed, or situational. A travel adapter, also spelled travel adaptor, changes plug fit only; a voltage converter, sometimes searched as a voltage convertor, is needed only for devices that are not dual voltage. No plug type is excluded due to limited or declining use.
