Article 924-2 of the French Civil Code

The amount of the reduction indemnity is calculated on the basis of the value of the property given or bequeathed at the time of the partition or its alienation by the beneficiary and according to its condition on the day the gift took effect. If there has been subrogation, the calculation of the reduction indemnity takes into account the value of the new assets at the time of partition, based on their condition at the time of acquisition. However, if the depreciation of the new property was, by reason of its nature, unavoidable on the day of its acquisition, subrogation is not taken into account.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 924-2

Le montant de l’indemnité de réduction se calcule d’après la valeur des biens donnés ou légués à l’époque du partage ou de leur aliénation par le gratifié et en fonction de leur état au jour où la libéralité a pris effet. S’il y a eu subrogation, le calcul de l’indemnité de réduction tient compte de la valeur des nouveaux biens à l’époque du partage, d’après leur état à l’époque de l’acquisition. Toutefois, si la dépréciation des nouveaux biens était, en raison de leur nature, inéluctable au jour de leur acquisition, il n’est pas tenu compte de la subrogation.
