I have given up trying to keep this page up to date. It seems
that every year the access numbers change. Contact your local
carrier before coming to Paris for the correct access number.
If you are already in Paris you can either ask at the hotel or try
and find a copy of the USA Today newspaper which should be available
at most newsstands.
Telephones in Paris are touchtone and produce the correct DTMF tones
for use with your stateside based phone card. You do not need a
phone card to access the above numbers from any payphone. But if
you plan to call someone locally in Paris you will have to purchase
a phone carte. You can get these at any post office. They come in
50F and 90F denominations.
A neat place to call someone is from the base of the Eiffel Tower.
There are plenty of pay phones there.
