Article R222-3 of the French Code of civil enforcement procedures

The property may also be apprehended immediately, without prior command and on presentation of the writ of execution alone if the person required to surrender it is present and if, on being asked by the bailiff, he does not offer to transport it at his own expense.
In this case, the document provided for in Article R. 222-4 contains the indication that disputes may be brought before the enforcement judge of the place where the person from whom the property is taken resides.

Article R222-3


Le bien peut aussi être appréhendé immédiatement, sans commandement préalable et sur la seule présentation du titre exécutoire si la personne tenue de la remise est présente et si, sur la question qui lui est posée par l’huissier de justice, elle ne s’offre pas à en effectuer le transport à ses frais.
Dans ce cas, l’acte prévu à l’article R. 222-4 contient l’indication que les contestations peuvent être portées devant le juge de l’exécution du lieu où demeure celui auquel le bien est retiré.
