Article L311-8 of the French Code of civil enforcement procedures

The immovable property of a minor, even an emancipated minor, or of an adult under guardianship or tutorship, may not be seized before their movables have been discussed.
However, discussion of the movables is not required before the seizure of undivided immovables between an adult and a minor or an adult under guardianship or tutorship, if the debt is common to them. Nor is it required if the proceedings began before the adult was placed under guardianship.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L311-8


Les immeubles d’un mineur, même émancipé, ou d’un majeur en curatelle ou en tutelle ne peuvent être saisis avant la discussion de leurs meubles.
Toutefois, la discussion des meubles n’est pas requise avant la saisie des immeubles indivis entre un majeur et un mineur ou un majeur en curatelle ou en tutelle, si la dette leur est commune. Elle ne l’est pas non plus dans le cas où les poursuites ont commencé alors que le majeur n’était pas encore placé sous curatelle ou sous tutelle.
