๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡น Ethiopia to ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท FranceYour little chargers will cope. Your chunky ones won't.

Some of your plugs fit France's sockets directly. Grounded or chunkier ones need help.

What to pack

Plugbert recommends

Type C (Europlug) adapter

Some plugs from Ethiopia fit the Type C and E sockets in France and some don't, so pack an adapter. A Type C (Europlug) adapter fits the listed socket families there. For grounded devices, get a Type E (French / Schuko hybrid) adapter for a compatible grounded outlet instead; it does not fit every listed outlet. Socket variants can differ; check the actual outlet and adapter rating.

For equipment requiring earth, choose a Type E (French / Schuko hybrid) adapter for a compatible grounded outlet. Check its supported inputs and rated load. A two-pin output cannot provide an earth connection.

Tip: a "universal" travel adapter may be useful for several destinations. Check its wall-side plugs, grounding and power limits against your trip.

France uses 230 V and Ethiopia uses 220 V, but similar nominal voltages do not guarantee compatibility. Check that your device's input rating covers the destination supply.
