Only if you have an adapter. The shape of the outlet is different and to convert the power down to you 110 volt dryer.
You can check for them among the travel gadgets at a luggage store.

I'm afraid you been give some bad advice regarding the voltage in France. They operate on a 230v, 50 hz system compared to a 110v 60hz system in the US. If you try to plug your hair dryer into a 230 v system, you will fry the hair dryer and possibly yourself. You will need a voltage converter as well as an adaptor for your plug. Make sure you check the wattage of your hair dryer and and buy an appropiate converter for that wattage.The website will show you what you need: http://www.kropla.com/electric2.htm
You can buy the adaptor and converter at travel stores and most places that sell luggage. Many of the better hotels these days have 110v outlets in the bathrooms for hair dryers only, and many also supply hair dryers, maybe you can find out from your hotel before you buy anything. Have fun.

You'll need an adapter and a converter. Personally, I don't bother with a hair dryer... my curling iron operates on dual voltage and I only have to carry the plug adapters. We like to travel light... that's the advice we give to everyone. The easier you can make travel, the more fun you'll have.
Happy travels... even if you don't travel the world... just remember that life is a journey... embrace and enjoy it! http://www.mousetourstravels.com
