Richard, from Tullycarnet in East Belfast, had travelled from Benin and was due to board a connecting flight to Dublin. He later told a friend he was in the airport bar after missing his flight, but when his family tried to contact him, they were met with silence.
"Two FaceTime calls to his phone that evening were answered by unknown individuals, one man, then a woman. Since then, there has been no trace of him.
On Wednesday, Robert's family travelled to Paris to work directly with the French authorities to locate their brother, travelling across the city putting up missing persons posters.
Robert's brother Louis on Friday: "Rab has been found by emergency services and is requiring ongoing emergency treatment. While he is not out of the woods yet, we are just glad he is alive.
"As a family, we would ask for privacy in the time ahead as we deal with the situation."

Man remanded in custody after sweets were 'laced with sedatives in summer camp poisoning'
Jon Ruben has been accused of child cruelty offences after children became unwell at a summer camp. A 76-year-old man has been remanded in custody charged with child cruelty offences after children became unwell at a summer camp in Leicestershire. Jon Ruben, of Wayte Court in Ruddington, Nottinghamshire, appeared at Leicester Magistrates' Court on Saturday morning charged with three counts of wilfully assaulting, ill-treating, neglecting, abandoning or exposing children in a manner likely to cause them unnecessary suffering or injury to health, relating to three boys at the summer camp between July 25 and July 29. The court was told the charges relate to sweets which were allegedly laced with sedatives. Leicestershire Police received a report on Sunday that children at Stathern Lodge in Canal Lane, Stathern, had become ill. Eight children, all boys aged between eight and 11, and one adult were taken to hospital as a precaution but were discharged, police said. The defendant, who stood in the dock wearing a grey sweatshirt, spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address during the four-minute hearing. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Ruben was told by chair of the magistrates Elizabeth Needham that he will appear at Leicester Crown Court on August 29. He gave no indication of his pleas during the hearing on Saturday. Ruben was arrested on Monday evening at a nearby pub on suspicion of administering poison or a noxious thing with intent to injure, aggrieve or annoy. Police said the 'owners and operators of Stathern Lodge are independent from those people who use or hire the lodge and are not connected to the incident'. The lodge is a converted farmhouse with a sports hall and catering facilities. The investigation is being led by the East Midlands special operations unit's major incident team. Leicestershire Police has referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct after officers said the incident happened on Monday, before amending the date to Sunday. It is still unclear when officers responded and whether that is why the watchdog referral has been made. Neighbours described seeing distressed parents outside the village hall in nearby Plungar, which was used as a triage centre for the children on Monday.
