Article R321-13 of the French Code of civil enforcement procedures

The unavailability of the property, the seizure of its fruits and the restriction on the debtor’s rights of enjoyment and administration run with regard to the debtor from the date of service of the summons to pay in the form of a seizure.
These effects apply to third parties from the date of publication of the summons.
Where an agreement has been entered into prior to publication of the summons by the distrainee debtor in breach of the effects attached to service of the summons, the court shall declare it null and void at the request of the co-contractor.

Article R321-13


L’indisponibilité du bien, la saisie de ses fruits et la restriction aux droits de jouissance et d’administration du débiteur courent à l’égard de celui-ci à compter de la signification du commandement de payer valant saisie.
Ces effets courent à l’égard des tiers du jour de la publication du commandement.
Dans le cas où une convention a été conclue antérieurement à la publication du commandement par le débiteur saisi en violation des effets attachés à la signification du commandement, sa nullité est déclarée par le juge à la demande du cocontractant.
