Article L183-1 of the French Insurance Code

Where the commitment is made, within the meaning of article L. 310-5, on the territory of the French Republic, the law applicable to the contract is French law, to the exclusion of any other.

However, if the policyholder is a natural person and a national of another Member State of the European Economic Area, the parties to the insurance contract may choose to apply either French law or the law of the State of which the policyholder is a national.

Article L183-1

Lorsque l’engagement est pris, au sens de l’article L. 310-5, sur le territoire de la République française, la loi applicable au contrat est la loi française, à l’exclusion de toute autre.

Toutefois, si le souscripteur est une personne physique et est ressortissant d’un autre Etat membre de l’Espace économique européen, les parties au contrat d’assurance peuvent choisir d’appliquer soit la loi française soit la loi de l’Etat dont le souscripteur est ressortissant.
