I am a bit confused and have read different solutions
I will be IN France with a US cell phone with a $10/day International plan.
If I want to call a French number (i.e.: dinner reservations) what digits do I start with?

You start with +33 ( the country code for France) and then just dial the number. If there is a (0) before the rest of the number, omit that.

If you're contacted to the internet when you're out and about chances are you can use your phone’s voice assistant and/or google search.
If you have an Android phone say “OK Google” then something like “call Le Grande Fillet restaurant Paris” and before you know it the phone’s making the call.
Dialling actual numbers is so 2017…..

Same way you dial French numbers when you are at home. Being in France is irrelevant.
Telephonically speaking, your phone sits in a bubble of US territory. You retain your US number, phones in the USA dial you the same way, as normally, French phones still have to add 001 to call you as you have US number, and you dial +33 for French numbers.

Thank you all so much. The "Bubble" analogy helps.

On my iPhone, if I hold down the zero, I get a plus sign. Then I can just add the digit one and a US number to call home.
