Article 1653 of the French Civil Code

If the purchaser is disturbed or has just cause to fear that he will be disturbed by an action, either mortgage or revendication, he may suspend payment of the price until the seller has put an end to the disturbance, if he prefers not to give security, or unless it has been stipulated that, notwithstanding the disturbance, the purchaser will pay.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1653

Si l’acheteur est troublé ou a juste sujet de craindre d’être troublé par une action, soit hypothécaire, soit en revendication, il peut suspendre le paiement du prix jusqu’à ce que le vendeur ait fait cesser le trouble, si mieux n’aime celui-ci donner caution, ou à moins qu’il n’ait été stipulé que, nonobstant le trouble, l’acheteur paiera.
