Article 1613 of the French Civil Code

Nor shall he be obliged to deliver, even if he had granted a delay for payment, if, since the sale, the buyer has fallen into bankruptcy or a state of insolvency, so that the seller is in imminent danger of losing the price; unless the buyer gives him security to pay on time.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1613

Il ne sera pas non plus obligé à la délivrance, quand même il aurait accordé un délai pour le paiement, si, depuis la vente, l’acheteur est tombé en faillite ou en état de déconfiture, en sorte que le vendeur se trouve en danger imminent de perdre le prix ; à moins que l’acheteur ne lui donne caution de payer au terme.
