Article 689 of the French Code of civil procedure

Notifications shall be made at the place where the addressee resides if he is a natural person.

However, when made to a person, notification is valid wherever it is delivered, including the place of work.

Service is also validly made at the elected domicile where the law so allows or requires.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 689
Les notifications sont faites au lieu où demeure le destinataire s’il s’agit d’une personne physique.

Toutefois, lorsqu’elle est faite à personne, la notification est valable quel que soit le lieu où elle est délivrée, y compris le lieu de travail.

La notification est aussi valablement faite au domicile élu lorsque la loi l’admet ou l’impose.
