How can I call a 4-digit French phone number from the US?

Question

My French bank (Caisse d'Epargne Île de France) wants me to call them at 3241. I'm currently in the United States. How can I reach such a phone number from the US?

(Assume that the bank doesn't have a 10-digit French phone number, in which case I could just add +33 and remove the 0)

@brhans Thanks, actually this is the phone number for a different bank. I may be able to find an international phone number, but that sometime is not straightforward e.g. https://www.facebook.com/Caisse.Epargne/posts/10153412671670965, so I would prefer to have a way to directly call a 4-digit phone number. — Franck Dernoncourt, Sep 13 '17 at 22:29
I think your best bet might be to subscribe to the service of a French VoIP provider so that the call originates into the French phone network as a domestic call. I don't think it is possible to dial those numbers from an international phone. — Dennis, Sep 14 '17 at 19:02
To the 4 close voters who didn't leave a comment: Why would this question on all a 4-digit French phone number from the US be off-topic? — Franck Dernoncourt, Sep 14 '17 at 23:27

Copying an interesting idea from the comments:

It will depend on the carriers your network uses but if they support it just dial +333241 unfortunately if they don't support it, it will dot connect. I'm afraid there is no work around for this. A French voip termination may work, but again this will depend on their carriers and routing
