Article R322-22 of the French Code of civil enforcement procedures

The debtor takes the necessary steps to conclude the amicable sale. He shall report to the pursuing creditor, at his request, on the steps taken to this end.
The pursuing creditor may, at any time, summon the debtor before the court to declare his failure to act and order the resumption of the forced sale procedure.
If the proceedings are resumed after the orientation hearing, the judge sets the date of the auction hearing, which is held within a period of between two and four months. The seized debtor, the pursuing creditor and the registered creditors are notified of the decision.
The decision ordering the resumption of the proceedings is not subject to appeal.

Article R322-22


Le débiteur accomplit les diligences nécessaires à la conclusion de la vente amiable. Il rend compte au créancier poursuivant, sur sa demande, des démarches accomplies à cette fin.
Le créancier poursuivant peut, à tout moment, assigner le débiteur devant le juge aux fins de voir constater sa carence et ordonner la reprise de la procédure sur vente forcée.
Lorsque la reprise de la procédure est postérieure à l’audience d’orientation, le juge fixe la date de l’audience d’adjudication qui se tient dans un délai compris entre deux et quatre mois. La décision est notifiée au débiteur saisi, au créancier poursuivant et aux créanciers inscrits.
La décision qui ordonne la reprise de la procédure n’est pas susceptible d’appel.
