Article 2347 of the French Civil Code

The creditor may also obtain a court order that the property shall remain in payment to him.

Where the value of the property exceeds the amount of the secured debt, the sum equal to the difference shall be paid to the grantor or, if there are other pledgees, shall be consigned.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 2347

Le créancier peut aussi faire ordonner en justice que le bien lui demeurera en paiement.

Lorsque la valeur du bien excède le montant de la dette garantie, la somme égale à la différence est versée au constituant ou, s’il existe d’autres créanciers gagistes, est consignée.
