to Plug Type E
(France)

Your Appliance has Plug Type E

No adaptor needed

France uses Socket Type E, which is the same as the plug type of your appliances from Cameroon. You will not need an adaptor.

Considerations

Voltage

The voltages found in Cameroon (220V) and France (230V) are not exactly the same, but the difference is tolerable, so you should not need a transformer.

Good to know

Frequency of Electrical Current

The frequency found in Cameroon and France is exactly the same (50Hz). Timing devices and appliances that use motors will function as expected under this frequency.
