Article 858 of the French Civil Code

The ratio is made in less taking, except in the case of the second paragraph of article 845.

It cannot be required in kind, unless otherwise stipulated in the deed of gift.

In the case of such a stipulation, the alienations and constitutions of real rights granted by the donee will be extinguished by the effect of the report unless the donor has consented.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 858

Le rapport se fait en moins prenant, sauf dans le cas du deuxième alinéa de l’article 845.

Il ne peut être exigé en nature, sauf stipulation contraire de l’acte de donation.

Dans le cas d’une telle stipulation, les aliénations et constitutions de droits réels consenties par le donataire s’éteindront par l’effet du rapport à moins que le donateur n’y ait consenti.
