Article L122-8 of the French Consumer Code

Advertisements and in particular promotional offers, such as discounts, premiums or gifts, as well as competitions or promotional games, sent by electronic mail, must be clearly and unequivocally identifiable as soon as they are received by the recipient or, if this is technically impossible, in the body of the message.
These messages must indicate an electronic address or means which effectively enables the recipient to send a request to have these advertisements stopped.

Les publicités et notamment les offres promotionnelles, telles que les rabais, les primes ou les cadeaux, ainsi que les concours ou les jeux promotionnels, adressés par courrier électronique, doivent pouvoir être identifiés de manière claire et non équivoque dès leur réception par leur destinataire ou, en cas d’impossibilité technique, dans le corps du message.
Ces messages indiquent une adresse ou moyen électronique permettant effectivement au destinataire de transmettre une demande visant à obtenir que ces publicités cessent.
