Article R1112-56 of the French Public Health Code

Hospitalised patients may, in view of the length of their stay and their state of health, be granted exceptional leave of absence for a maximum period of forty-eight hours.

Such leave is granted by the Director, after receiving a favourable opinion from the Department Head Physician.

If a patient who has been authorised to leave the establishment does not return within the time limit set, the administration will discharge him and he may only be admitted again in accordance with the procedures set out in sub-section II of this section.
