Article 2463 of the French Civil Code

Where, on the sale of a mortgaged immovable, all the registered creditors agree with the debtor that the price will be applied to the total or partial payment of their claims or some of them, they exercise their preferential right over the price and they may enforce it against any transferee as well as against any creditor seizing the price claim.

By the effect of this payment, the immovable is purged of the droit de suite attached to the mortgage.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 2463

Lorsque, à l’occasion de la vente d’un immeuble hypothéqué, tous les créanciers inscrits conviennent avec le débiteur que le prix en sera affecté au paiement total ou partiel de leurs créances ou de certaines d’entre elles, ils exercent leur droit de préférence sur le prix et ils peuvent l’opposer à tout cessionnaire comme à tout créancier saisissant de la créance de prix.

Par l’effet de ce paiement, l’immeuble est purgé du droit de suite attaché à l’hypothèque.
