Most French sites have the blue/white socket same as UK, those that don't have French domestic 2pin schuko socket. Just take a French ehu adaptor in case. You can buy them in UK camping shops for a few quid.

Take a reverse polarity and No earth indicator unit with you.
On one site a few years back we kept getting shocks from the bodywork of the van and finally disconnected the hook up eventually finding out there was no earth to the hook up poles on site at all.
