      Yeah I don’t know why we don’t make the switch in France as it wouldn’t be that much of a change

        It would be from a financial standpoint. Changing a standard this widely implemented is very costly.

        Why change it if they’re compatible anyways? Most devices in the eu are designed to accomodate both, its just a question of the earth pin being different.

        I’ve travelled all across europe, coming from a country with the french style outlets. I never had any problems connecting anything except for Switzerland and Italy, because they stuck to their own (inferior) standard thats not compatible with anything else.

          The smaller devices like chargers and small lamps have a euro plug that can plug in schucko, danish, italian, swiss, french (but not british)
