wondering if i could plug in phone and camera chargers directly into the outlets or recepticals? or do i need an adapter? if so what type of adapter would i buy??? would appreciate anyones input

Where are you from???? If it's the USA, you will need an adapter to change the plug configuration from our 2 flat prongs, to 2 round prongs. Unless your camera or phone is very old or unique - you will not need a voltage converter. The instruction manual or writing on the recharger will tell you if it works on 210 voltage.

No you can't. You must buy the adaptor plugs with 2 round prongs. They're easy to find. Get a couple.

Nice is having a large historical crafts show the weekend of September 6-7.

I just re-read your title which indicated that you are from the US. Any travel store or luggage shop should have the plug adapters. Tell them you are going to France.

You will need a two-pin Continental(round pins) plug adapter. For a photo of one, go here: http://tinyurl.com/4dd4h. You should be able to buy one at your local Radio Shack.

Check your chargers and make sure they're dual voltage: 110-220 or 120-240 volts. If they're only 110/120, you'll also need a voltage converter.

As Stu says, most of the camera chargers need only the adaptor. Look for same-sized plugs. And as TimS says, check your equipment for dual voltage switches.
If you don't have dual voltage you will need a converter-for those, can you consider just purchasing charger(s) in France?

You can buy the adaptors in hardware stores as well. That's where I get mine.
