Recommended Travel Adaptor for Bahrein Lyon
After testing numerous adaptors during real trips, one stood out. It performed best on safety, value and usability. This is the adaptor we suggest you take.
Forgotten your adaptor and already abroad? Don’t worry — airports and local shops usually stock them. That said, packing your own saves you from high prices and poor quality.
Lyon is often visited alongside nearby countries like Switzerland and Italy. It’s worth checking the plug info — even within Europe, things can vary slightly.
Sockets in Lyon
The plug types you’ll find in Lyon are Type C and E plugs and sockets.
Type C
Type C sockets have two round pins and no grounding. Unlike Type G, they take a slimmer plug without an earth pin or fuse.
Type E
Type E sockets have two round pins and a hole for the socket’s earth pin. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type E sockets.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
Converters only matter when voltages clash. In Lyon the supply is pretty much the same as the UK’s, so you’re sorted.
Before you power up your device abroad, glance at the voltage label. ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ means you’re good to go without a converter, which is common for modern kit.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
Travelling can be unpredictable, but these little items give you peace of mind. A luggage scale means no nasty shocks at the airport desk, a power bank saves you when plugs are nowhere to be found, and packing cubes stop your things from getting muddled. We’ve used them on plenty of trips and can vouch for them.
