Ok. In France there is usually a single phase for house appliances. Triphased networks are for distribution and transport.

Thanks for the explanation!

I think it's more, 3-phase+N can be converted to 1-phase whenever needed with simple wiring. So even in France, you might have 3+N coming to the breaker panel, and then 1-phase from there on.
