Technically, that's wrong. It should be +33 2 9927 2588. However, I
do sometimes see it as you wrote it, to indicate to people in their own
country that they should dial a 0 first.
As with other international standards, Americans are the worst when it
comes to phone numbers. They assume there are no other countries and
rarely include the country code. In fact, most Americans have no idea
what their country code is. Then sometimes I see Americans trying to
do it right and printing their New Hampshire number as: +603 555 2368,
which would really be a number in Malaysia.
