How to call France from abroad
France has no city area codes. Every number is 10 digits at home, and the first two digits show a large region: 01 is Paris and its region, 04 is the south east. From abroad you drop the 0, so 01 becomes +33 1.
Mobile numbers: Mobiles start with 06 or 07 and have 10 digits locally: 06 xx xx xx xx, or +33 6 xx xx xx xx from abroad. An example in international format: +33 6 xx xx xx xx.
