Article 1317 of the French Civil Code

Among themselves, the joint and several debtors contribute to the debt only each for his or her share.

He who has paid more than his share has recourse against the others in proportion to their own share.

If one of them is insolvent, his share is divided, by contribution, between the solvent co-debtors, including the one who made the payment and the one who benefited from a solidarity remission.

Article 1317

Entre eux, les codébiteurs solidaires ne contribuent à la dette que chacun pour sa part.

Celui qui a payé au-delà de sa part dispose d’un recours contre les autres à proportion de leur propre part.

Si l’un d’eux est insolvable, sa part se répartit, par contribution, entre les codébiteurs solvables, y compris celui qui a fait le paiement et celui qui a bénéficié d’une remise de solidarité.
