Recommended Travel Adaptor for Saint Pierre and Miquelon
We’ve researched extensively and tested many adaptors abroad. Safety, speed, durability and cost were all considered. This one is by far the best choice.
No adaptor once you’ve landed? Airports and local shops are an option. But nothing beats the peace of mind of having your own ready to use.
Saint Pierre and Miquelon is usually combined with trips to Canada and Greenland. It’s a good idea to check those pages too — plug types and voltage may not be the same.
Sockets in Saint Pierre and Miquelon
Saint Pierre and Miquelon uses 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?
You won’t need a converter in Saint Pierre and Miquelon, as the mains voltage is basically the same as at home in the UK.
Do check the voltage label on your kit before you travel. If it states ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, you’re safe to use it without a converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
No one likes last-minute stress at the airport or hunting for chargers abroad. That’s why we always pack a luggage scale to dodge fees, a power bank to stay connected, and packing cubes to keep everything neat. They take up little space but make a world of difference.
