OK...so which power outlet adapter?

I'm packing...actually RE-packing (cuz now the weather is supposed to be rain/snow/cold/ugly.... ) to go to Paris tomorrow morning...and it sudddenly occured to me...I don't know which electrical power outlet plug adapter to take.

Is it the 2 wide-set round pronged thingie? Deb seems to think so.

Help!!!!

wide-set round 2-pronged thingy is the correct terminology, geez!

Ramblero -

You can go to places like Bed Bath and Beyond and get a set of outlet converters for each continent, actually. The European one should work universally in any Euro country.
I got them for a trip to Italy but it didn't work for my curling iron, though, I was so irritated! Should've known better and read the directions more carefully...

Great website is Voltagevalet.com
I have called them with questions and they have always answered them very thoroughly.

The two-round-pronged "Continental" plug.

Since you obviously already know about sizes I won't even go there.
