Article R4127-347 of the French Public Health Code

A midwife may not move into a building where another midwife is practising without the latter’s agreement or, failing that, without the authorisation of the Conseil Départemental de l’Ordre. Such authorisation may only be refused on grounds of risk of confusion for the public.

Silence on the part of the departmental council will be deemed to constitute tacit authorisation on expiry of a period of two months from receipt of the application.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R4127-347

Une sage-femme ne doit pas s’installer dans un immeuble où exerce une autre sage-femme sans l’accord de celle-ci ou, à défaut, sans l’autorisation du conseil départemental de l’ordre. Cette autorisation ne peut être refusée que pour des motifs tirés d’un risque de confusion pour le public.

Le silence gardé par le conseil départemental vaut autorisation tacite à l’expiration d’un délai de deux mois à compter de la réception de la demande.
