Article 338-6 of the French Code of civil procedure

The court clerk’s office or, where applicable, the person appointed by the judge to hear the minor, sends the latter a summons by ordinary letter with a view to his or her hearing.

The summons informs the minor of his or her right to be heard alone, with a lawyer or a person of his or her choice.

On the same day, the parties’ defence counsel and, failing that, the parties themselves are notified of the arrangements for the hearing.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 338-6

Le greffe ou, le cas échéant, la personne désignée par le juge pour entendre le mineur adresse à celui-ci, par lettre simple, une convocation en vue de son audition.


La convocation l’informe de son droit à être entendu seul, avec un avocat ou une personne de son choix.


Le même jour, les défenseurs des parties et, à défaut, les parties elles-mêmes sont avisés des modalités de l’audition.
