Article 489 of the French Civil Code

Where the mandate is drawn up by authentic instrument, it is received by a notary chosen by the principal. Acceptance by the agent is made in the same forms.

As long as the mandate has not taken effect, the principal may amend it in the same forms or revoke it by notifying the agent and the notary of its revocation, and the agent may renounce it by notifying the principal and the notary of its renunciation.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 489

Lorsque le mandat est établi par acte authentique, il est reçu par un notaire choisi par le mandant. L’acceptation du mandataire est faite dans les mêmes formes.

Tant que le mandat n’a pas pris effet, le mandant peut le modifier dans les mêmes formes ou le révoquer en notifiant sa révocation au mandataire et au notaire et le mandataire peut y renoncer en notifiant sa renonciation au mandant et au notaire.
