Article 958 of the French Civil Code

Revocation on the grounds of ingratitude will not prejudice any alienations made by the donee, nor any mortgages or other real charges that he may have imposed on the object of the donation, provided that the whole is prior to the publication, in the real estate file, of the request for revocation.

In the event of revocation, the donee will be ordered to return the value of the objects disposed of, having regard to the time of the request, and the fruits, as from the day of this request.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 958

La révocation pour cause d’ingratitude ne préjudiciera ni aux aliénations faites par le donataire, ni aux hypothèques et autres charges réelles qu’il aura pu imposer sur l’objet de la donation, pourvu que le tout soit antérieur à la publication, au fichier immobilier, de la demande en révocation.

Dans le cas de révocation, le donataire sera condamné à restituer la valeur des objets aliénés, eu égard au temps de la demande, et les fruits, à compter du jour de cette demande.
