What it means for your plugs

Your plugs

Your Australian plugs won't fit. France has Type C and E sockets, and a Type C adaptor (two round pins) fits both.

The power

The power is 230 V, close to home, so a converter isn't needed.

Type C: two round pins
Type E: two round pins, with an earth pin in the socket
