I am trying to contact a friend just managed to get their new number am not sure if it is a mobile number number starts 003317...................., but all am getting is a busy tone. Is there anything I can do to check if the number is still operational. Its the only contact I have for this person. Thanks
331 is the code for Paris.
Many thanks for that, also can I ask you do may people in France still use dial up for internet or is everyone now using broadband. Why I ask this is because everytime I call the number its busy. I think maybe they are on the internet.
Its so frustrating hehehe. Thanks Kevin
Thanks pedro.
You're so helpful and what a great web site too.
It would be very unusual for anyone in Paris now to have dial-up. Even out here in the sticks we have broadband. What you may have is a fax machine also working off that number, so if the person has gone ff on holiday or something like that and left it switched to fax, you'll get the busy tone.
Pedro, what does a "busy" tone (and a ring tone) sound like in France. I believe I've been caught out before by thinking I'm hearing a busy tone when in fact it was not.
thanks for that mate
when I call a woman just says the number you have called is busy cheers Kevin
-->> Pedro, ring tone on fixed lines are normally a Bip-Bip type of buzz tone, not a bell like a digital buzz. Busy tone is very rapid Bip-Bip-Bip-Bip.
Thanks for that paul.... I'll remember that when next I phone France in the middle of the night. It's usually a boat builder & they are totally unreliable when it comes to answering phones..ha.
331 is the code for Paris?
Not quite, I think. 331 is the country number + the area code for Paris
For 003317:
00= for calling international
33= country code for France
1= the area code for Paris (so it's a landline)
7=the beginning of the rest of the phone number :-)
The French love to celebrate important events or circumstances with lights. After all, isn't France the country of Enlightenment?
So, they put lights on the Tour Eiffel in 2000 to welcome the year that many considered the beginning of the new millennium (which is actually 2001 because there wasn't any year 0, but only 1 BC and 1 AD).
You see also a photo of the basis of the tower with the Pont d'Iéna in the foreground and the Tour Maine-Montparnasse in the background.
Of all the pictures you've seen of Paris in guides and travel books, I'm certain you've seen images of the Eiffel Tower as seen from around the lamps on Paris' Pont Alexandre III. This traffic-ridden bridge essentially connects the Grand and Petit Palais to the enormous Hotel Des Invalides on the south bank , yet it is the walk itself that conveys most of the charm. The bridge opens with golden griffins on raised pedestals on the north side, and has more than its share of those beautiful oxidized lamps that Americans so relish here but miss when at home. Add the cherubs and the intricate railings, and we have Europe's grandest arch!
Paris is impossible without: 2. Le Louvre – the largest museum in the world. Great collection of sculpture and paintings, from ancient to modern. Most popular places – sculptures of Nika, Venus di Milo, David; painting – Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci.
Climb every tower or building or mountain that can be climbed.....
Rewards: lovely view and panorama.
Here a perspective sur L'Avenue de la Grande Armée.....
In the distance the modern Arc La DéFENSE,

Bring one rolling suitcase or duffel bag. It's not wise to check two bags - it becomes a huge hindrance. Teva sandals saved my life. They're not as conspicuous as sneakers, and they go with almost anything. This was the best I could do, as French women seem to wear real shoes (as opposed to the flip flops of obvious American tourists).
Bring a compact umbrella and take it everywhere you go. Vendors seem to increase the price of umbrellas when it rains. Make sure you bring band-aids and protective ointment for your skin. It's true. The French dress up a litte more than Americans. Jeans, shorts, and t-shirts are comfortable, but you'll feel out of place. French women wear nice slacks, skirts, and dresses. Individual style is a must! If you wear a t-shirt, dress it with a pearls or a scarf.
There are GAP stores everywhere if you're in a bind.
