Article L3142-28 of the French Labour Code

Employees are entitled to sabbatical leave during which their employment contract is suspended.

The right to this leave is open to an employee who, on the date of departure on leave, can prove a minimum length of service in the company, cumulated, where applicable, over several non-consecutive periods, as well as six years of professional activity and who has not benefited for a minimum period, in the same company, from a sabbatical leave, a leave for business creation or a specific leave mentioned in article L. 6323-17-1 of a duration of at least six months. Seniority acquired in any other company of the same group, within the meaning of article L. 2331-1, is taken into account as seniority in the company.
