Technically no (due to camping restrictions ) , but also it depends. As some specifically allowed it, like Refuge de la Balme. IIRC if you couldn't see your tent from the refuge you were fine. When we did TMB, we camped near a couple and had dinner in them no problems.
Using the term "bivouac" gets you a lot more results when researching.
the refuges in French and Italian alps; if they are full can you pitch a tent on their premises/nearby?
