An international number in France is a virtual phone number with a French country code (+33) that allows you to receive calls anywhere globally—just as if you were based in France.
It functions like a traditional local number, but without needing a physical office or landline in Paris, Marseille, or Lyon. Once set up, you can route incoming calls to any device — your mobile, landline, or VoIP system.
International Toll Free Numbers (ITFNs) for France typically use the 00800 Universal International Freephone Number (UIFN) format or a France-specific ITFN format depending on the provider. However, the France-specific International Toll-Free Number (ITFN) format for inbound calls to France generally follows:
00800 XXX XXXX (UIFN – accessible across multiple countries)
Or a France-specific Toll-Free Number like: 0805 XXX XXX
Note: These numbers are toll-free for the caller when dialling from within France or the country where the ITFN is available. If you are a business offering a toll-free number for French customers, it would usually start with 0800, 0805, 0806, or 0809.
For international customers calling into France toll-free, you would acquire an ITFN or UIFN through a telecom provider.
A typical French number consists of 10 digits after the country code +33. The first digit (usually a 0 when dialed within France) is dropped when calling internationally.
Below are the top French business hubs along with their corresponding geographic telephone prefixes (indicative of landlines):
| Region / City | Department | Dialling Code Prefix | Notes |
| Paris (Île-de-France) | 75 (Paris) | +33 1 | Economic capital, home to major HQs, finance, and tech industries. |
| Lyon (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes) | 69 | +33 4 | France’s second-largest economic center; biotech, software, and banking. |
