Article 1208-3 of the French Code of civil procedure

The decisions of the judge or court are notified by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, within eight days, to the applicant, the parents, guardian, person or service to whom the child has been entrusted or the delegated third party. The judge or court may, however, decide that notification will be made by bailiff’s deed, where appropriate, at the registry’s behest, or by administrative means.
In all cases, notice of notification is given to the public prosecutor.

Article 1208-3

Les décisions du juge ou du tribunal sont notifiées par lettre recommandée avec avis de réception, dans les huit jours, au requérant, aux parents, tuteur, personne ou service à qui l’enfant a été confié ou au tiers délégataire. Le juge ou le tribunal peut toutefois décider que la notification aura lieu par acte d’huissier de justice, le cas échéant, à la diligence du greffe, ou par la voie administrative.

Dans tous les cas, un avis de notification est donné au procureur de la République.
