The allocation is distributed each year between the regions in such a way as to take into account, up to 60%, the capacity of the establishments and, up to 40%, changes in the school-age population.

The 60% intended to take account of the capacity of the establishments is distributed as follows:

1° 30%, in proportion to the total developed surface area of school buildings;

2° 5%, in proportion to the total developed surface area of school buildings built before 1973;

3° 5%, in proportion to the surface area of mobile classrooms ;

4° At the rate of 5%, in proportion to the number of pupils in the long general second cycle of public establishments and preparatory classes for the grandes écoles;

5° At the rate of 5%, in proportion to the number of pupils in the long technical second cycle of public establishments and higher technician sections;

6° At the rate of 10%, in proportion to the number of pupils in the short technical second cycle of public establishments.

For the application of the provisions of the second paragraph above, the enrolments of maritime and aquaculture establishments are taken into account under 6°; the enrolments of agricultural education establishments are taken into account, as the case may be, under 5° or 6°.

The 40% intended to take account of changes in the school-age population are allocated as follows:

1° 25% in proportion to the number of births recorded in the region between the tenth and sixth years preceding the year in which the allocation is made;

2° 15% in proportion to the backlog of school enrolments recorded in the region.

Delays in enrolment are recorded and taken into account under the following conditions:

a) Half of the 15% is distributed among the regions where the enrolment rate for young people aged between sixteen and nineteen is less than 80%, in proportion to the difference between this percentage and the percentage recorded in the region ;

b) The other half is distributed among the regions where the enrolment rate for young people aged between sixteen and nineteen is lower than the national average enrolment rate for these same young people, in proportion to the difference between the national average rate and the rate recorded in the region.

The elements referred to in the second and fifth paragraphs of this article are taken from the latest statistics published on the date of allocation.

Common Questions

Working with a corporate lawyer in France — Q&A

Any time a strategic decision changes how the company is owned, governed or contractually bound — incorporation, fundraising, M&A, restructuring, shareholder agreements, or major commercial contracts. Earlier engagement always costs less than later remediation.

A notary (notaire) is a public officer who authenticates specific deeds (mainly real-estate transfers and certain family-law acts). A corporate lawyer (avocat) advises on strategy, negotiates and drafts company documents, and represents you in disputes. The two roles complement rather than overlap.

Yes — most of our clients are foreign suppliers, investors or holding entities. We bridge the gap between French law and your home jurisdiction's expectations and deliver everything bilingually.

The SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée) is the default choice for most international structures: flexible governance, single shareholder allowed, no minimum capital, and works cleanly with foreign holding entities. We assess SARL, SA, SCI on the merits when the situation calls for it.

Yes — communications with a French avocat are protected by the secret professionnel (Article 66-5 of the Law of 31 December 1971). This protection is broader than the common-law attorney-client privilege and applies to written and oral exchanges.

We work on fixed fees for clearly scoped engagements (incorporation, contract drafting, audits) and on monthly retainers for ongoing advisory. Hourly billing is the exception, not the default. You always know the cost before work starts.

Typical timeline is 2–3 weeks from KYC kick-off to RCS registration, assuming standard documentation. Holding-company structures, foreign-shareholder identification or in-kind contributions can extend this — we flag the gating items at the first meeting.

Absolutely. We routinely coordinate with your in-house counsel, expert-comptable or notaire — pragmatic collaboration is the norm, not the exception. We send them everything they need to do their part without duplicating work.
