House, Business or Mobile (Cell) Phone Numbers in France
Finding a French phone number (or "Numéro Téléphone France"), whether for someone’s house or business, is easy if you read French or have the Google tool bar to do the translation, as the major French telephone directories don’t use English.
All French phone numbers are ten digits, starting with a zero if you’re using France Telecom or the number of a provider (e.g. Cegetel uses 7), when dialled from within France, i.e. they include the area phone code. The France country code is 33, and you omit the initial zero or provider’s number when calling from outside the country. "Téléphone portable" (mobile or cell phone to you) numbers will start with 07 from 2010 (they’re currently 06).

PAGES BLANCHES
http://www.pagesjaunes.fr/pagesblanches/:
It says "Pages Jaunes" at the top but "white pages" on the search box. This is the official white pages of France, including the French overseas territories and departments. You search by names of people, and now it’s only in French, but the Google tool bar translation is fine.
To use it put in the last name in "Nom", and optionally the first name in "Prénom". Then enter some geographic area, such as the city, departement or region (click on the question mark for a list of regions), and press "trouver" to search. For businesses, click on the "les professionels" tab. For reverse search (search by number: http://www.pagesjaunes.fr/trouverunnom/aquiestcenumero.do) click on the "A qui donc il est ce numéro" tab and enter the ten digit number.
