Article 1431 of the French Civil Code

If, during the marriage, one spouse entrusts the other with the administration of his or her own property, the rules of the power of attorney apply. The mandating spouse is, however, exempt from rendering an account of the fruits, where the power of attorney does not expressly require him or her to do so.

Article 1431

Si, pendant le mariage, l’un des époux confie à l’autre l’administration de ses propres, les règles du mandat sont applicables. L’époux mandataire est, toutefois, dispensé de rendre compte des fruits, lorsque la procuration ne l’y oblige pas expressément.
