Article 1030-1 of the French Civil Code

In the absence of an accepting heir reservataire, the testator may empower the executor to dispose of all or part of the immovables of the succession, receive and invest the capital, pay the debts and charges and proceed with the allocation or division of the remaining property between the heirs and legatees.

On pain of unenforceability, the sale of a property of the succession may only take place after the heirs have been informed by the executor.
