Article R221-42 of the French Code of civil enforcement procedures

On pain of nullity, the notice of opposition shall contain an indication of the writ of execution by virtue of which it was filed, a separate statement of the sums claimed in principal, costs and accrued interest, as well as an indication of the interest rate.
The notice of opposition is served on the first distraining creditor unless the opposition was filed by him to add a new claim or extend the scope of the previous attachment. It is also served on the debtor.
The first distraining creditor proceeds alone with the sale.
