yes.

but a converter is not needed a transformer is the current in France being
220 volts. It would be better, lighter, and easier if you bought a dual
voltage dryer that would only require a plug adapter. Most portable
consumer electronics these days can handle both (laptops and other computer
related things) Even better is to buy a 220 dryer in europe, but only if
you are planning on travelingthere a lot. We have one and it is one of the
best investments, my wife has ever made.
