You may need an adaptor but many continental sites are now compatible. The adaptor is just a short lead with different connectors on each end. A few pounds only.

Some french sites are also reverse polarity so take a tester. Again only a couple of quid Ebay do these things.

There are a number of extensive threads on the rights & wrongs of reverse polarity. You can do a search on here or very shortly another lengthy discussion will kick off.

Here's one

If the site uses 2 pin domestic sockets, the sockets are normally grouped in a box with a door on the front & you can normally get your whole adaptor in the box. If not, wrap the joint between blue/white plug/socket with a carrier bag.
