Video Transcript

"The masterpieces of the Louvre, the wonderful wines of the Bordeaux region, the roughly million kinds of cheese, and of course the Riviera. The reasons to visit France are endless of course. If you're planning to make a travel to France, first, maybe you should make a phone call. And please follow our instructions. Determine what time it is in France. France is one hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time. It means that it's six hours later in France than it is on the east coast of the United States, and it's nine hours later in France than it is on the west coast. As always, please dial zero eleven which is the international access code. Then, it's followed by the number thirty-three which you have to dial. That is the country code of France. And thirdly please remove the zero from the ten digit phone number. Anyway, almost all the French numbers start with either zero one or zero two or zero three or zero four or zero five. And last but not least, dial the personal phone number."
