Article L131-67 of the French Monetary and Financial Code

The presentation of a cheque in payment, accepted by a creditor, does not entail novation. Consequently, the original debt, with all the guarantees attached to it, remains in force until the cheque is paid.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L131-67

La remise d’un chèque en paiement, acceptée par un créancier, n’entraîne pas novation. En conséquence, la créance originaire, avec toutes les garanties qui y sont attachées, subsiste jusqu’au paiement du chèque.
