Article 729-1 of the French Civil Code

The children of the unworthy are not excluded by the fault of their author, either if they come to the succession in their own right or if they come to it by the effect of representation; but the unworthy cannot, in any case, claim, out of the property of that succession, the enjoyment which the law grants to fathers and mothers out of the property of their children.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 729-1

Les enfants de l’indigne ne sont pas exclus par la faute de leur auteur, soit qu’ils viennent à la succession de leur chef, soit qu’ils y viennent par l’effet de la représentation ; mais l’indigne ne peut, en aucun cas, réclamer, sur les biens de cette succession, la jouissance que la loi accorde aux père et mère sur les biens de leurs enfants.
