Article 376 of the French Code of civil procedure

The interruption of proceedings does not relieve the judge of jurisdiction.

The judge may invite the parties to inform him of their initiatives with a view to resuming the proceedings and strike out the case if they fail to do so within the time limit set by him.

He may ask the public prosecutor to gather the information necessary for the resumption of proceedings.
