Article 847 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

If the appellant resides outside the island where the court which gave the contested decision has its seat, the statement of appeal provided for in Article 502 may be sent to the court registrar by letter signed by the appellant. As soon as this letter is received, the court clerk draws up the notice of appeal and attaches the appellant’s letter to it. Within the period provided for in the articles 498,500 and 846, the caller is required to confirm their call at the town hall or gendarmerie closest to their residence.
