Article L2223-15 of the French General Code of Local Authorities

Concessions are granted in return for payment of a capital sum, the amount of which is set by the municipal council.

Temporary concessions, thirty-year concessions and fifty-year concessions are renewable at the price of the tariff in force at the time of renewal.

Failing payment of this new fee, the conceded plot reverts to the municipality. However, it may not be taken back by the commune until two years after the expiry of the period for which the plot was granted.

In the interval between these two years, the concession holders or their successors in title may make use of their right to renew. Communes are required to inform concession holders and their successors by any means of the existence of this right of renewal.

Article L2223-15

Les concessions sont accordées moyennant le versement d’un capital dont le montant est fixé par le conseil municipal.

Les concessions temporaires, les concessions trentenaires et les concessions cinquantenaires sont renouvelables au prix du tarif en vigueur au moment du renouvellement.

A défaut du paiement de cette nouvelle redevance, le terrain concédé fait retour à la commune. Il ne peut cependant être repris par elle que deux années révolues après l’expiration de la période pour laquelle le terrain a été concédé.

Dans l’intervalle de ces deux années, les concessionnaires ou leurs ayants cause peuvent user de leur droit de renouvellement. Les communes sont tenues d’informer par tout moyen les concessionnaires et leurs ayants cause de l’existence de ce droit de renouvellement.
