French Southern and Antarctic Lands Travel Adapters
Type C and Type E • 230 volts • 50 Hz
The French Southern and Antarctic Lands are a group of remote territories administered by France in the southern Indian Ocean and Antarctica. The administrative capital is Saint-Pierre on Réunion Island, although the territories themselves have no permanent civilian population. These lands include scattered subantarctic islands, research stations, and protected natural environments known for unique wildlife such as seabirds, seals, and penguins.
The French Southern and Antarctic Lands use mains electricity supplied at about 230 volts at 50 Hz in research stations and facilities. 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.
