Article 1077-1 of the French Civil Code

A reservataire heir, who has not contributed to the shared gift, or who has received a lot less than his share of the reserve, may exercise the action in reduction, if there is not at the opening of the succession property not included in the sharing and sufficient to make up or complete his reserve, taking into account any gifts from which he may have benefited.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1077-1

L’héritier réservataire, qui n’a pas concouru à la donation-partage, ou qui a reçu un lot inférieur à sa part de réserve, peut exercer l’action en réduction, s’il n’existe pas à l’ouverture de la succession des biens non compris dans le partage et suffisants pour composer ou compléter sa réserve, compte tenu des libéralités dont il a pu bénéficier.
