+33 Country Code: France Dialing Guide

+33 is the country code for France. Whether you're calling a Paris landline, a mobile in Lyon, or a business in Bordeaux, you'll dial +33 followed by the French number—just drop that leading zero first.

Here's everything you need to dial France correctly.

What Is the 33 Country Code?

The 33 country code belongs to France. It covers mainland France, Corsica, and Monaco. Every French phone number—landline or mobile—uses this code when dialed internationally.

French phone numbers have 10 digits, starting with a 0 (like 01 23 45 67 89). That zero is just for domestic calls. When calling from abroad, you replace the 0 with +33.

How to Dial France

To call France, dial +33 plus the French number without the first zero.

From a mobile phone (anywhere):

From a US landline:

Dialing Examples

Calling a Paris landline (01 23 45 67 89):

From mobile: +33 1 23 45 67 89
From US landline: 011 33 1 23 45 67 89

Calling a French mobile (06 12 34 56 78):

From mobile: +33 6 12 34 56 78
From US landline: 011 33 6 12 34 56 78

The key: always drop that first zero.

French Area Codes

French landlines use area codes 01 through 05, based on geographic region.

Code	Region	Major Cities
01	Paris & Ile-de-France	Paris
02	Northwest France	Nantes, Rennes, Rouen
03	Northeast France	Strasbourg, Lille, Reims
04	Southeast France	Lyon, Marseille, Nice
05	Southwest France	Bordeaux, Toulouse

If someone gives you a French number starting with 04, you know it's somewhere in the southeast—Lyon, Marseille, or the Riviera.

French Mobile Numbers

French mobile numbers start with 06 or 07. There's no difference between them—both are mobile prefixes. A French mobile number looks like this:

Domestic format: 06 12 34 56 78
International format: +33 6 12 34 56 78

When you see a French number starting with 06 or 07, you're calling a mobile phone.

Calling the US from France

If you're in France and need to call the US, your French carrier probably charges extra. Orange, SFR, and Bouygues all require monthly add-ons or charge premium per-minute rates for calls outside the EU.

World Dialer offers a simpler option: $0.02/minute to US landlines. No subscription, no app download—just open it in your browser and call. It's built for expats and travelers who need to call US numbers without the monthly commitment.
