"In 1996, this changed to a ten-digit numbering scheme:"

"(0)5 Southwest France"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%2B33

"As of 1996-7 major renumbering (see below), all calls within France are dialled as 10 digits, with a leading digit 0. However, from outside France, only the 9 digits following the 0 are dialled after country code 33."
