Default Is there a 'proper' name for Euro/French two-pin 2.5A sockets?

There is no specific socket for Europlugs because Europlugs were
designed to fit into (most? all?) european 2 pin sockets.

They're certainly available as part of a multiway adapter, presumably
then so that you can't plug lots of 10 amp loads into a single socket.

I thought I'd seen some individual ones while wandering around French
shops.

I can find in-line ones.

If you are looking to replace a 13A UK socket I would save the bother and use one of these.

It's not to "replace a 13A UK socket", I'd have said if it was. The
above converter will project far too much, that's why I specifically
said a flush mounted socket. I already have a surface mount one and
that just sticks out too far.
