Article 5-1 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

Even if the plaintiff has brought a civil action before the criminal court, the civil court, seised in summary proceedings, remains competent to order any provisional measures relating to the facts that are the subject of the proceedings, where the existence of the obligation is not seriously disputable.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 5-1

Même si le demandeur s’est constitué partie civile devant la juridiction répressive, la juridiction civile, saisie en référé, demeure compétente pour ordonner toutes mesures provisoires relatives aux faits qui sont l’objet des poursuites, lorsque l’existence de l’obligation n’est pas sérieusement contestable.
