Article R16-1 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

The authorities or persons responsible for contributing to the application of judicial supervision shall ensure that the person under investigation complies with the obligations imposed on him; to this end, they may summon him and visit him; they shall carry out any steps and research useful to the performance of their duties.

They report to the examining magistrate, under the conditions that he or she determines, on the behaviour of the person under investigation; if the latter evades the obligations imposed on him or her, they notify the magistrate without delay.
