Article R233-3 of the French Code of civil enforcement procedures

The debtor may, within one month of being notified of the seizure, order the sale of the seized securities. The proceeds of the sale are unavailable in the hands of the authorised intermediary to be used specifically to pay the creditor.
If the proceeds of the sale are sufficient to pay the creditor(s), the unavailability of the remaining seized securities ceases.

Si les sommes provenant de la vente suffisent à désintéresser le ou les créanciers, l’indisponibilité cesse pour le surplus des valeurs mobilières saisies.
