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

If you're heading to France from Samoa, it's worth checking the power situation before you pack. Different countries use different outlet types and electrical standards, so your devices may not plug in directly when you arrive.

Samoa uses Type I plugs, while France uses Type C and E. Since there is no overlap, you will need a travel adapter to plug in your devices. Make sure to pick one up before your trip or at the airport.

The voltage and frequency in France (230V, 50Hz) are the same as Samoa (230V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a 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
