Article 742 of the French Code of civil procedure

The judge may not refuse to execute a letter rogatory on the sole ground that French law claims exclusive jurisdiction, or that it does not know of a legal remedy that responds to the subject matter of the request brought before the issuing court, or that it does not admit the result to which the letter rogatory tends.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 742

Le juge ne peut pas refuser d’exécuter une commission rogatoire au seul motif que la loi française revendique une compétence exclusive, ou qu’elle ne connaît pas de voie de droit répondant à l’objet de la demande portée devant la juridiction commettante, ou qu’elle n’admet pas le résultat auquel tend la commission rogatoire.
