Article 659 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

All other conflicts of jurisdiction are referred to the Criminal Division of the Cour de cassation, which is seised by application of the public prosecutor or the parties. The Cour de cassation may also, on the occasion of an appeal brought before it, rule on judges of its own motion and even in advance. It may rule on all acts performed by the court to which it relinquishes jurisdiction.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 659

Tous autres conflits de compétence sont portés devant la chambre criminelle de la Cour de cassation, laquelle est saisie par requête du ministère public ou des parties. La Cour de cassation peut aussi, à l’occasion d’un pourvoi dont elle est saisie, régler de juges d’office et même par avance. Elle peut statuer sur tous actes faits par la juridiction qu’elle dessaisit.
