Travelling to France? Then you're probably wondering whether you need a travel adapter for France. Because France uses type E sockets, not every Dutch plug fits without problems. As a result, many travellers end up without power on the spot, especially with earthed appliances.

Do I need a travel adapter in France?

Usually not if you come from the Netherlands. In France, sockets are used that are compatible with Dutch plugs. In some cases a small adapter can be handy, but most of the time it isn't needed.

Which plugs and sockets are used in France?

France mainly uses type C and type E. Type E has a protruding earth pin in the socket. Dutch type C and F plugs fit in most French sockets.

Do I need a voltage converter in France?

No. The mains voltage in France is 230 volts and 50 Hz, the same as the Netherlands. You can use your appliances without a voltage converter.
