Help - in Paris battery on my Mac is low
I just realized the plug converter I brought with me to Paris will not converts US 3 prong for my power cord to a French 2 prong - any idea where I can buy one in Paris. I am staying in the 3rd

I think there's also an Apple store near Pompidou Centre, but that's just from seeing one while walking around the area in September. But all you need is a grounded to un-grounded converter plug (AKA three-prong to two-prong).

I was thinking of Euro 3-pin to Euro 2-pin; what you need is US ground lifter adaptor *and* a US-Euro adaptor. Probably a travel supply store would have the best selection, as in the US -- something like BHV might, but probably NOT in the hardware department. Surely there's a chain like the US Mori chain where travel adaptors are sold.

Most Mac laptops come with an AC adaptor that has a power cord with a three-prong plug. If you detach the power cord, there is a place where you can attach a two-prong plug made specifically to fit the AC adaptor (my Mac came with one).
You can then just connect the European two-pin plug to the American two-prong plug.

If you go to the Mac store at the Louvre, you can save some money by buying the iPod/iPhone charging kit, plug connector and cable. It comes with the two-prong round plug connector you need for the Mac.
