Answer 1 :
go to any stores like the source or best buy or other similar stores and ask them what they would recommend based on where you are travelling and what items you plan to plug in. I went to the source when I went to France and they sold me a plug adapter that would work in europe
Answer 2 :
You can buy it when you arrive in Paris from any local convenient store or just borrow from your hotel reception desk. No problem!
Answer 3 :
Most of modern electronics use dual voltage/dual frequency adapters... There is a big possibility that both your gadgets might work on European grid. If you take small plastic adapter (on your power supply cable) where S/N is located, there should say something like: 100-240V, 50-60Hz then you're set. If it's just 110V and 60Hz then you really need power adapter. In case it is dual, then you only need adapter plug (something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-F8E449-Universal-Travel-Adapter/dp/B00008O393/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1204300606&sr=1-1 You can also buy great quality for I think $20 aboard any planes flying overseas as part of duty-free-shopping. If you do need power converter, 110 to 220V this is pretty good one, works both way - downgrading/upgrading voltage. Note that frequency doesn't change but small appliance shouldn't feel different freq. http://www.amazon.com/jWIN-JA-V50-Watt-Travel-Converter/dp/B00013BN2K/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1204300606&sr=1-5 Hope it helped...
