Article L222-12 of the French Consumer Code

Exercising the right of withdrawal automatically terminates the contract of sale or provision of services.
If the goods or services to be financed are not sold at a distance and the consumer, by express request, seeks immediate delivery or supply of the goods or services, exercising the right of withdrawal shall not automatically entail termination of the contract of sale or provision of services unless it occurs within three days of the conclusion of the credit agreement.
Any early delivery or supply shall be at the expense of the seller, who shall bear all the risks.

Article L222-12


L’exercice du droit de rétractation emporte résolution de plein droit du contrat de vente ou de prestation de services.
Si le bien ou la prestation de services à financer ne sont pas vendus à distance et que le consommateur, par une demande expresse, sollicite la livraison ou la fourniture immédiate du bien ou du service, l’exercice du droit de rétractation n’emporte résolution de plein droit du contrat de vente ou de prestation de services que s’il intervient dans un délai de trois jours à compter de la conclusion du contrat de crédit.
Toute livraison ou fourniture anticipée est à la charge du vendeur, qui en supporte tous les risques.
