Article 1773 of the French Civil Code

This stipulation applies only to ordinary fortuitous events, such as hail, fire from the sky, frost or blight.

It does not apply to extraordinary fortuitous events, such as the ravages of war, or a flood, to which the country is not ordinarily subject, unless the lessee has been charged with all foreseen or unforeseen fortuitous events.

Cette stipulation ne s’entend que des cas fortuits ordinaires, tels que grêle, feu du ciel, gelée ou coulure.

Elle ne s’entend pas des cas fortuits extraordinaires, tels que les ravages de la guerre, ou une inondation, auxquels le pays n’est pas ordinairement sujet, à moins que le preneur n’ait été chargé de tous les cas fortuits prévus ou imprévus.
