Article L5213-9 of the French Labour Code

In the event of redundancy, the period of notice determined in application of article L. 1234-1 is doubled for the beneficiaries of Chapter II, without this measure having the effect of increasing the period of notice beyond three months.

However, these provisions do not apply where collective bargaining agreements or, failing that, customary practice provide for a notice period of at least three months.

Article L5213-9

En cas de licenciement, la durée du préavis déterminée en application de l’article L. 1234-1 est doublée pour les bénéficiaires du chapitre II, sans toutefois que cette mesure puisse avoir pour effet de porter au-delà de trois mois la durée de ce préavis.

Toutefois, ces dispositions ne sont pas applicables lorsque les conventions ou accords collectifs de travail ou, à défaut, les usages prévoient un préavis d’une durée au moins égale à trois mois.
