For example, if you live in the U.S., Canada, Japan, or a couple of other countries where electric plugs have two flat blade prongs for ungrounded devices plus perhaps a round prong for grounded devices (Types A and B) and you visit Paris or anywhere else in France, you'll discover electrical sockets with holes for two round prongs (ungrounded - Type C) plus perhaps one round prong (grounded - Type E). In fact, 14 different power outlet types are in use around the world.

Adapters can be necessary when you travel because the electric plugs (and outlets) in the country you visit may have a different shape from those in your own country. A electrical outlet adapter lets you insert electric plugs from your country into wall sockets in the country you're visiting.If you are like many travelers to Paris or elsewhere in France, you may be wondering: How do I charge my iPhone (or Android) and laptop? What about my hair dryer? My electric shaver? Do I need a special US/Canada-to-France (or other country to France) adapter or converter to use my electronics in Paris? Should you bring an electric plug adapter or power voltage converter on your trip to Paris? And if so, what is the best power adapter and converter for France?
