When to call France
Twice a year, Paris moves an hour closer to New York.
Europe and North America change their clocks on different Sundays, so for a week in the autumn and three in the spring the usual gap shrinks by an hour. Pick your city to see every odd day this winter.
Most of the winter, Paris is 6 h ahead of New York.
- 25 Oct to 31 OctParis is 5 h ahead of New York
- 14 Mar to 27 MarParis is 5 h ahead of New York
Paris offices open at 9: that is 3 am in New York most weeks. Call before lunch your time, after work theirs.

Calling France: your questions
Reviewed 28 October 2026.
What is the country code for France?
France's country code is +33. Drop the first 0 of the French number: 06 12 34 56 78 becomes +33 6 12 34 56 78, and 01 for Paris becomes +33 1.
How do I call France from the USA?
Dial 011 33, then the French number minus its 0: 011 33 1 XX XX XX XX for Paris, 011 33 6 12 34 56 78 for a mobile. A cell phone or softphone takes +33 6 12 34 56 78.
How do I call France from Canada?
Canada dials out with 011 as well, so Lyon is 011 33 4 XX XX XX XX, or +33 4 on a cell phone.
How do I call France from the UK?
Dial 00 33 and drop the French 0: 00 33 5 XX XX XX XX for Bordeaux. On a phone, +33 5 does it. Paris is one hour ahead of London all year.
How do I call France from Australia?
Australia uses 0011: 0011 33 6 12 34 56 78 for a French mobile, or +33 6 12 34 56 78 typed on a phone.
What does +33 (0) mean on a French number?
That (0) is what people in France dial at home. From another country you skip it, so +33 (0)1 XX XX XX XX is called as +33 1 XX XX XX XX. The checker above leaves it out for you.
Why does my call to France show as numéro masqué?
Since 1 January 2026 French networks mask any French mobile number on a call from abroad that cannot be verified, and French landline numbers from abroad have needed verification since 2019. Send your own number and it shows normally.
How much does it cost to call France?
One price for every 06, 07 or landline number on +33: $0.0113 a minute, counted by the second, free to connect. Thirty minutes to Paris costs $0.34, and $20 buys 1,769 minutes.
Is a number starting 06 92 or 06 90 French?
No. 06 92 and 06 93 are Réunion mobiles (+262), 06 90 and 06 91 Guadeloupe (+590), 06 94 French Guiana (+594) and 06 96 and 06 97 Martinique (+596). They are dialled with their own code and priced on their own.
How do I call Monaco?
Monaco is not +33: it has its own code, +377, and its own rate on our list: $0.1300 a minute.
Who calls from 01 62, 09 48 and similar numbers?
Telemarketers. Since 2023 France makes sales call centres use twelve dedicated prefixes, so a call from one of them is a sales call.
Do I need a France calling card?
No. Dial +33 and the number minus its 0 on a softphone or office desk phone: no access number, no PIN, no connection fee. Any French mobile or landline is $0.0113 a minute, billed by the second, and your own number shows instead of numéro masqué.
What time is it in France?
France is on UTC+1 in winter and UTC+2 in summer. Paris is usually 6 hours ahead of New York and 9 ahead of Los Angeles, but for a week around each clock change the gap is an hour shorter. The calendar above shows the exact days.
