Or is the French decision?

Ordered in duplicate, and no French outlet. By removing the plug we find ourselves face to face with two son and a fuse.
Forced to go to the corner brico depot to go buy adapters ... While it is yet said the EU must find a socket.

In short, apart from that, the iron heats up quickly, the failure is very strong and continues to heat up even mistreated (rubber, plastic burned, welding etc ...) so very happy with my purchase!
