Article 1183 of the French Civil Code

A party may request in writing that the party who could rely on the nullity either confirm the contract or bring an action for nullity within a period of six months on pain of foreclosure. The cause of the nullity must have ceased.

The writing expressly states that if no action for nullity is brought before the expiry of the six-month period, the contract will be deemed to be confirmed.
