Common questions
Do I need a plug adapter from China to France?
Yes. France uses Type E sockets, which China plugs do not fit, so pack a suitable adapter.
Will my devices work on France’s voltage?
France runs at 230V, 50Hz. Dual-voltage chargers (most phones and laptops) are fine; single-voltage devices may need a converter.
