Article 1206 of the French Civil Code

The beneficiary is vested with a direct right to the benefit against the promisor as soon as the stipulation is made.

Nevertheless the stipulator may freely revoke the stipulation as long as the beneficiary has not accepted it.

The stipulation becomes irrevocable when acceptance reaches the stipulator or the promisor.
