Article 380-9 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

The appeal shall be lodged within ten days of the delivery of the judgment.

However, the time limit shall run only from the service of the judgment, by whatever method, on the party who was not present or represented at the hearing where the judgment was delivered, but only in the event that he or his representative was not informed of the day on which the judgment would be delivered.

Article 380-9

L’appel est interjeté dans le délai de dix jours à compter du prononcé de l’arrêt.

Toutefois, le délai ne court qu’à compter de la signification de l’arrêt, quel qu’en soit le mode, pour la partie qui n’était pas présente ou représentée à l’audience où le jugement a été prononcé, mais seulement dans le cas où elle-même ou son représentant n’auraient pas été informés du jour où l’arrêt serait prononcé.
