Article R743-78 of the French Commercial code

The liquidator has the broadest powers to wind up the company. In particular, he is responsible for managing the company during its liquidation, realising its assets, clearing its liabilities and, after repayment of the share capital to the shareholders or their successors, distributing the assets arising from the liquidation among them in accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Association.

The liquidator’s powers may be specified by the court decision or by the decision of the shareholders, which has conferred his duties on him.
