Article L211-5 of the French Insurance Code

The decree of the Conseil d’Etat referred to in article L. 211-1 sets out the conditions for the application of this Title, and in particular the extent of the cover which must be included in the insurance contract, the procedures for drawing up and validating the supporting documents required for inspection purposes, and the obligations imposed on users of vehicles in international traffic carrying a letter of nationality other than French.

Any insurance contract taken out by a person subject to the obligation instituted by article L. 211-1 is, notwithstanding any clauses to the contrary, deemed to include guarantees at least equivalent to those laid down in the decree of the Conseil d’Etat provided for in the previous paragraph.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L211-5

Le décret en Conseil d’Etat mentionné à l’article L. 211-1 fixe les conditions d’application du présent titre, et notamment l’étendue de la garantie que doit comporter le contrat d’assurance, les modalités d’établissement et de validité des documents justificatifs prévus pour l’exercice du contrôle, ainsi que les obligations imparties aux utilisateurs de véhicules en circulation internationale munis d’une lettre de nationalité autre que la lettre française.

Tout contrat d’assurance souscrit par une personne assujettie à l’obligation instituée à l’article L. 211-1 est, nonobstant toutes clauses contraires, réputé comporter des garanties au moins équivalentes à celles fixées dans le décret en Conseil d’Etat prévu à l’alinéa précédent.
