Article 758-6 of the French Civil Code

Gifts received from the deceased by the surviving spouse are deducted from the latter’s rights in the succession. Where the gifts thus received are less than the rights defined in articles 757 and 757-1, the surviving spouse may claim the remainder, without ever receiving a portion of the property greater than the share defined in Article 1094-1.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 758-6

Les libéralités reçues du défunt par le conjoint survivant s’imputent sur les droits de celui-ci dans la succession. Lorsque les libéralités ainsi reçues sont inférieures aux droits définis aux articles 757 et 757-1, le conjoint survivant peut en réclamer le complément, sans jamais recevoir une portion des biens supérieure à la quotité définie à l’article 1094-1.
