The Paris flat of my late brother-in-law had its original 2 pin unearthed 6A sockets with 4mm pins, but in the kitchen there was a socket similar to the present UK shaver sockets that would accept both a 6A French plug and a US flat pin plug. I guess that when the flat had been built, France was still on 110V. Regretfully I did not think to take a photo.
