Article R3322-5 of the French Public Health Code

For each festival or fair, the authorisation is issued to the person responsible for organising it by the prefect of the département or, in Paris, by the police prefect or, in the département of Bouches-du-Rhône, by the Bouches-du-Rhône police prefect, specifying the beneficiary of the authorisation and the date, place and times of the event.

If there is no response from the authorities within two months of the date of the acknowledgement of receipt, the application is deemed to have been accepted.

Authorisation will be refused if the conditions under which the event is organised do not guarantee respect for public order, the protection of minors and the provisions of the Public Health Code relating to the fight against alcoholism.

L’autorisation est délivrée, pour chaque fête ou foire, au responsable de son organisation, par le préfet du département ou, à Paris, par le préfet de police ou, dans le département des Bouches-du-Rhône, par le préfet de police des Bouches-du-Rhône, qui précise le bénéficiaire de l’autorisation délivrée, la date, le lieu et les horaires de la manifestation.

L’absence de réponse de l’administration dans un délai de deux mois suivant la date de l’accusé de réception vaut acceptation de la demande.

L’autorisation est refusée si les conditions d’organisation de la manifestation ne garantissent pas le respect de l’ordre public, de la protection des mineurs et des dispositions du code de la santé publique relatives à la lutte contre l’alcoolisme.
