Voltage: France operates on 230V AC, 50Hz electrical system.
Plug Types: Type E (CEE 7/5) and Type F (Schuko) plugs are standard. Two-pin round socket receptacles accommodate both plug types.
Adapter Requirements: Visitors from North America (120V) need voltage converter AND plug adapter. UK/Irish visitors need only plug adapter (230V compatible).
USB Charging: Many hotels and cafés offer USB charging ports. Bring USB power adapter and cables for convenience.
Outlets: Most accommodations have outlets in rooms, though older buildings may have limited placement. Request outlet locations when checking in.
Power Management: Heavy appliances (hair dryers, electric kettles) work well. Never force plugs into sockets; adapters should fit easily.
