Article L1225-4-1 of the French Labour Code

No employer may terminate an employee’s employment contract during the ten weeks following the birth of the child.

However, the employer may terminate the contract if he can prove that the employee is guilty of serious misconduct or that it is impossible to continue the contract for reasons unrelated to the arrival of the child.
