Article R4227-4 of the French Labour Code

Establishments have clearances such as doors, corridors, passageways, staircases and ramps, distributed in such a way as to allow rapid evacuation of all occupants in conditions of maximum safety.
These exits must always be unobstructed. No object, merchandise or equipment may obstruct the movement of people or reduce the width of the clearances below the minimums set in article R. 4227-5.
These clearances must be arranged in such a way as to avoid dead ends.
