Article 1539 of the French Civil Code

If, during the marriage, one of the spouses entrusts the other with the administration of his or her personal property, the rules of mandate 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 1539

Si, pendant le mariage, l’un des époux confie à l’autre l’administration de ses biens personnels, 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.
