Power is what the wall supplies, not what a device needs: most phone and laptop chargers take 100 to 240 V, so you usually need only a plug adapter. Check the label on your device.
Plugs, power and driving side are shown only where two sources agree (Wikipedia, Mains electricity by country (from the IEC's World Plugs), worldstandards.eu, Wikidata, Wikipedia, Left- and right-hand traffic), checked 2026-10-11. See what each plug type looks like.
French is one of this country’s main languages; local languages can differ by region. Only words that Wiktionary and Wikivoyage phrasebooks both give are shown (CC BY-SA 4.0, checked 2026-10-11). Some languages change a word with who is speaking or how formal you are: these are the common forms.
