Article R53-52 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

The registration of seizures of business assets made on the basis of Article 706-157 shall be entered in the register kept by the registrar of the commercial court or of the judicial court ruling in commercial matters in the jurisdiction of which the owner of the business asset is registered as principal in the register of commerce and companies or, in the absence of registration, in the jurisdiction of which he has his personal domicile.

If the owner of the business is not registered in the Trade and Companies Register and is not personally domiciled in France, the clerk of the Commercial Court of Paris has jurisdiction.
