πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡­ Saint Helena to πŸ‡«πŸ‡· FranceDifferent holes, friend. Bring an adapter.

France uses 230 V and Saint Helena uses 240 V, but similar nominal voltages do not guarantee compatibility. Check that your device's input rating covers the destination supply.

What to pack

Plugbert recommends

Type C (Europlug) adapter

You need a plug adapter. Plugs from Saint Helena (Type G) don't fit the Type C and E sockets in France. 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.
