Do French campsites use the standard 16amp connectors?

I m going camping in France in about a week. I know France has a different house mains socket to the uk (they have a two pin europlug compared to our 3 pin plug) but I can t find any information about whether or not they have the same camping plug as the uk (the big 16A connector) also does France have the same voltage or do they have 110v?

    The electrical network in France is 230V-50Hz.

    Here is a nice description of the type of connectors that exist : http://images.voyageforum.com/posts2/medium/138175...

    France mainly uses type E connectors. Sometimes, there are also type C connectors (but it's very unlikely on a campsite).

    Type E and F are mutually compatible. Male type C are compatible with female type E and F.
