Article L343-2 of the French Code governing the entry and residence of foreign nationals and the right of asylum

When a foreign minor who is not accompanied by a legal representative is not authorised to enter France, the public prosecutor, notified immediately by the administrative authority, appoints an ad hoc administrator without delay. The ad hoc administrator assists the minor while he or she is being held in the waiting area and represents him or her in administrative and legal proceedings relating to this holding.
The ad hoc administrator also represents the minor in all administrative and legal proceedings relating to his or her entry into France.
The ad hoc administrator is appointed by the competent public prosecutor from a list of legal entities or individuals whose constitution is determined by decree in the Conseil d’Etat. This decree also specifies the terms of their compensation.

Lorsqu’un étranger mineur non accompagné d’un représentant légal n’est pas autorisé à entrer en France, le procureur de la République, avisé immédiatement par l’autorité administrative, lui désigne sans délai un administrateur ad hoc. Celui-ci assiste le mineur durant son maintien en zone d’attente et assure sa représentation dans le cadre des procédures administratives et juridictionnelles relatives à ce maintien.
Il assure également la représentation du mineur dans toutes les procédures administratives et juridictionnelles afférentes à son entrée en France.
L’administrateur ad hoc est désigné par le procureur de la République compétent sur une liste de personnes morales ou physiques dont les modalités de constitution sont fixées par décret en Conseil d’Etat. Ce décret précise également les conditions de leur indemnisation.
