Marshall Islands to France: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Getting ready for your journey from Marshall Islands to France? Electrical compatibility is easy to overlook, but bringing the wrong plug or forgetting an adapter can leave you scrambling at your hotel. Here's what you need to know.

Your Marshall Islands plugs (Type A, B) won't fit France's outlets (Type C, E). You'll want to grab a universal travel adapter or one specifically designed for France before you depart.

Be aware that Marshall Islands runs on 120V at 60Hz, while France uses 230V at 50Hz. This voltage difference matters for appliances like hair dryers, curling irons, and electric shavers that aren't dual-voltage. Check the label on your devices. If it says "100-240V," you're fine. Otherwise, you'll need a voltage converter.

Don't forget that France hotel rooms sometimes have a universal shaver socket in the bathroom, but these low-wattage outlets aren't suitable for high-draw devices. For reliable charging, use the standard wall outlets with a proper adapter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Marshall Islands uses Type A/B plugs and France uses Type C/E. Since these are incompatible, you will need a travel adapter.
