Travel adapter from Zambia to France
Adapter Required
Yes — coming from Zambia, you will need a travel adapter for France. Zambia uses Type G plugs, and France uses Type C/Type E, so the pin shapes will not fit any wall socket.

More about plugs in France
In France, the standard power plug is Type C and Type E. The country runs on 230 volts at 50 Hz. That means wall sockets in France can be one of 2 different shapes — Type C, Type E, and your plug needs to physically match the socket to fit.
