I would suspect that you would need a Isolation transformer to change the shore power voltage from 220v to 110 volts, I also presume thats the 110 system is 60Hz. and I presume that the french system is 50z, nothing you can do about the frequency difference. the multi will also change to 50z when you are connected to shore power, and change back to 60hz when you disconnect from shore power. Some devices are frequency sensitive ie washing machines, but you wont know until you do it.

DO NOT connect the boat to 220v power unless you have the isolation /Transformer that will reduce the voltage to 110/120 volts.


others may have different suggestions, as well
