Article 1436 of the French Civil Code

When the price and costs of the acquisition exceed the sum used or reused, the community is entitled to a reward for the excess. If, however, the community’s contribution is greater than that of the acquiring spouse, the property acquired falls into the community, except for the reward due to the spouse.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1436

Quand le prix et les frais de l’acquisition excèdent la somme dont il a été fait emploi ou remploi, la communauté a droit à récompense pour l’excédent. Si, toutefois, la contribution de la communauté est supérieure à celle de l’époux acquéreur, le bien acquis tombe en communauté, sauf la récompense due à l’époux.
