first hearing
in divorce proceedings, during which the judge may try to reconcile the couple and/or decide what steps to take next
http://www.maitretoubkin.com/english/articles/french-divorce...
Each spouse will need to be represented by a lawyer so as to ensure that they are freely consenting to the divorce. The spouse and their respective lawyers will be asked to attend a first hearing during which the family judge will attempt to reconcile the spouses (“Ordonnance sur tentative de reconciliation”). If the judge fails, he or she will order temporary and/or urgent measures to be followed pending the divorce itself.

: it may well be the first hearing but I do not regard this as the correct translation for what is clearly a conciliation hearing - why not convey the fact in the translation?

you can say first or initial "conciliation" hearing. The procedure in France overall, however, is very different to that in the UK, at least.

I agree, I think it's a uniquely French procedure. I know of no comparable procedure in the U.S., at least not in the jurisdiciton where I worked.
*** Addendum ***
As an update to my comment, my home state, Michigan, now has conciliation hearings for divorces involving children, but only for the purpose of trying to come to an understanding regarding the children, NOT to try to salvage the marriage.
http://courts.michigan.gov/scao/resources/publications/manua...
At least one state, Ohio, provides the OPTION (unlike French law, where apparently it is mandatory, under threat of a default judgment) for either party to request conciliation, either to try to preserve the marriage itself or to resolve other, non-relationship issues in order to avoid court.
