A spokeswoman for the hospital, Nadine Bauer, told E!online, "After a C-section, the normal stay for a mother in the Lenval hospital is between eight and 10 days."
Jolie gave birth to twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline on Saturday, July 12.

One reason why her doctor, Michel Sussmann, is in no hurry to release Jolie, though doing so will get rid of the media circus outside the hospital, is because he feels that Jolie will not get the rest she needs to recover completely.
"Angelina has four young and lively children at home, and he suspects the temptation to get up out of bed and play with them will overwhelm her," the source said.
"He knows how much she misses the other children, but he feels that she will benefit from a few extra days' rest. They're being very well cared for."
Meanwhile, the twins got their first visit from uncle James Haven, Jolie's brother, on Thursday, July 17.
