Article 530 of the French Civil Code

Any annuity established in perpetuity for the price of the sale of real estate, or as a condition of the transfer for valuable consideration or free of charge of real estate, is essentially redeemable.

The creditor is nevertheless permitted to regulate the terms and conditions of redemption.

He is also permitted to stipulate that the annuity may only be repaid to him after a certain term, which may never exceed thirty years; any stipulation to the contrary is void.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 530

Toute rente établie à perpétuité pour le prix de la vente d’un immeuble, ou comme condition de la cession à titre onéreux ou gratuit d’un fonds immobilier, est essentiellement rachetable.

Il est néanmoins permis au créancier de régler les clauses et conditions du rachat.

Il lui est aussi permis de stipuler que la rente ne pourra lui être remboursée qu’après un certain terme, lequel ne peut jamais excéder trente ans ; toute stipulation contraire est nulle.
