Article L743-19 of the French Code governing the entry and residence of foreign nationals and the right of asylum

When an order by the liberties and detention judge ends the detention of a foreign national or places him/her under house arrest, it is immediately notified to the public prosecutor. The foreign national is kept at the disposal of the courts for a period of ten hours from this notification, unless the public prosecutor decides otherwise.
