Hi. Great adapter advice. We've discovered on a couple recent trips a new three-feature French wall plug. You have two round holes with a prong sticking out of the wall. Quickly discovered we needed an adapter that was flat on top to fit underneath the prong sticking out of the wall. Ended up plugging a flat adapter into the wall and then another adapter into the first adapter that would fit my laptop plug. Now we always travel with at least two different shaped adapters.
BTW, my battery charger and laptop both are dual voltage. I hope people are aware that if their appliance is not dual voltage, they need a voltage converter to avoid frying their appliance. There are still some battery chargers sold in the States that are not dual voltage so you need to check before you buy.
For forgetful people, many hotels have a supply of adapters at the front desk if you ask.
