Congé paternité obligatoire de quatre semaines

This is an ordinary bill (proposition de loi) tabled in the French National Assembly during the 15th legislature. Its title refers to a mandatory four-week paternity leave, meaning fathers or second parents would be required to take a block of leave after the birth of a child. The bill aims to strengthen shared parental responsibilities from the earliest weeks of a child's life, and to bring France's rules in line with broader debates on gender equality at work. If adopted, the measure would mainly affect employed fathers and second parents in France, as well as employers who would need to accommodate the leave. Details such as pay levels, eligibility and sanctions would depend on the final text, which this summary does not cover.
