Article L721-6 of the French Commercial code

The commercial courts do not have jurisdiction over actions brought against a landowner, farmer or winegrower, for the sale of foodstuffs from his own land, or actions brought against a trader, for payment for foodstuffs and goods purchased for his particular use.

Nevertheless, notes subscribed by a trader are deemed to be made for his trade.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L721-6

Ne sont pas de la compétence des tribunaux de commerce les actions intentées contre un propriétaire, cultivateur ou vigneron, pour vente de denrées provenant de son cru, ni les actions intentées contre un commerçant, pour paiement de denrées et marchandises achetées pour son usage particulier.

Néanmoins, les billets souscrits par un commerçant sont censés faits pour son commerce.
