The answer depends on the type of director. The president of a board of directors of a société anonyme can be removed at any time without notice. However, in the case of a managing-director (director general) or a Gérant, justifiable grounds for the termination are required. It is important to note however that in principle the director will not, in France, have a contract of employment with the company; thus the rules on the termination of a contract of employment would not apply.
