Article L522-4 of the French Commercial code

Any cessation of operation not followed by a transfer is subject to six months’ notice being given by the operator to the prefect. On expiry of this period, and if the general interests of the business so require, a provisional administrator may be appointed by the president of the judicial court ruling, on application or in summary proceedings, at the request of the public prosecutor.

Toute cessation d’exploitation non suivie de cession est subordonnée à un préavis de six mois, adressé par l’exploitant au préfet. A l’expiration de ce délai, et si les intérêts généraux du commerce l’exigent, un administrateur provisoire peut être désigné par le président du tribunal judiciaire statuant, sur requête ou en référé, à la demande du ministère public.
