Article L512-1 of the French Code of civil enforcement procedures

Even where prior authorisation is not required, the court may release the protective measure if it appears that the conditions prescribed by article L. 511-1 have not been met.
At the request of the debtor, the court may replace the protective measure initially taken with any other measure that safeguards the interests of the parties.
The provision of an irrevocable bank guarantee in accordance with the measure requested in the attachment entails the release of the security measure, subject to the provisions of article L. 511-4.

Article L512-1


Même lorsqu’une autorisation préalable n’est pas requise, le juge peut donner mainlevée de la mesure conservatoire s’il apparaît que les conditions prescrites par l’article L. 511-1 ne sont pas réunies.
A la demande du débiteur, le juge peut substituer à la mesure conservatoire initialement prise toute autre mesure propre à sauvegarder les intérêts des parties.
La constitution d’une caution bancaire irrévocable conforme à la mesure sollicitée dans la saisie entraîne mainlevée de la mesure de sûreté, sous réserve des dispositions de l’article L. 511-4.
