Article 373-4 of the French Civil Code

Where the child has been entrusted to a third party, parental authority continues to be exercised by the father and mother; however, the person to whom the child has been entrusted performs all the usual acts relating to the child’s supervision and upbringing.

The family affairs judge, in entrusting the child on a provisional basis to a third party, may decide that he will have to request the opening of a guardianship.
