Article L172-9 of the French Insurance Code

Cumulative insurances taken out without fraud for a total sum exceeding the value of the insured item are valid only if the insured brings them to the attention of the insurer from whom he is claiming.

Each of them produces its effects in proportion to the sum to which it applies, up to the full value of the insured item.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L172-9

Les assurances cumulatives contractées sans fraude pour une somme totale excédant la valeur de la chose assurée ne sont valables que si l’assuré les porte à la connaissance de l’assureur à qui il demande son règlement.

Chacune d’elles produit ses effets en proportion de la somme à laquelle elle s’applique, jusqu’à concurrence de l’entière valeur de la chose assurée.
