Article R4153-6 of the French Labour Code

If the labour inspector does not issue a reasoned refusal to the hiring of a minor within eight clear days of the employer’s application being sent, authorisation is deemed to have been granted. The postmark will serve as proof of this.
Where, within the same period, the labour inspector has made his authorisation conditional on one or more modifications or additions to the wording of the application, this decision is deemed to constitute authorisation to hire, provided that the employer complies, in the performance of the contract, with the obligations resulting from the modifications or additions requested.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R4153-6


Lorsque l’inspecteur du travail n’a pas adressé de refus motivé à l’embauche d’un mineur, dans un délai de huit jours francs à compter de l’envoi de la demande de l’employeur, l’autorisation est réputée accordée. Le cachet de la poste fait foi.
Lorsque dans ce même délai, l’inspecteur du travail a conditionné son autorisation à une ou plusieurs modifications ou adjonctions dans le libellé de la demande, cette décision vaut autorisation d’embauche, sous réserve que l’employeur respecte, dans l’exécution du contrat, les obligations résultant des modifications ou adjonctions demandées.
