They can be found at camping grounds and harbours. They have sockets you can use to get power and you can pay with a special card that you can buy at a shop (or maybe sometimes with credit cards or even coins, I'm not sure about that).

Although in the case of campsites both the UK and France in my experience use the same IP44 rated 16A connectors.
I use the same cables both sides of the channel.
It would be a very bad idea to use standard indoor power sockets in that situation.
