Article 2367 of the French Civil Code

Ownership of an asset may be retained as security by the effect of a retention of title clause which suspends the translative effect of a contract until full payment of the obligation which constitutes the consideration for it.

Ownership thus reserved is the accessory of the claim whose payment it guarantees.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 2367

La propriété d’un bien peut être retenue en garantie par l’effet d’une clause de réserve de propriété qui suspend l’effet translatif d’un contrat jusqu’au complet paiement de l’obligation qui en constitue la contrepartie.

La propriété ainsi réservée est l’accessoire de la créance dont elle garantit le paiement.
