Article 1222-1 of the French Code of civil procedure

At any time during the proceedings, the file may be consulted at the clerk’s office of the court holding it, upon written request and without any restriction other than the needs of the service, by the adult to be protected or protected, where applicable, by his lawyer as well as by the person or persons responsible for the protection.

When the request to consult the file comes from the adult of full age, the judge may, by reasoned order notified to the interested party, exclude all or part of the documents from consultation if this is likely to cause him or her serious psychological harm.

Article 1222-1

A tout moment de la procédure, le dossier peut être consulté au greffe de la juridiction qui le détient, sur demande écrite et sans autre restriction que les nécessités du service, par le majeur à protéger ou protégé, le cas échéant, par son avocat ainsi que par la ou les personnes chargées de la protection.

Lorsque la demande de consultation du dossier émane du majeur, le juge peut, par ordonnance motivée notifiée à l’intéressé, exclure tout ou partie des pièces de la consultation si celle-ci est susceptible de lui causer un préjudice psychique grave.
