In France, reception centres for asylum seekers are not closed centres. They are accessible to visitors of the persons accommodated in the centres and to other stakeholders within the limits set by the house rules, usually subject to prior notification of the centre manager.

Many reception centres are managed by NGOs, whose staff is therefore present on a daily basis.
