Article 1216-3 of the French Civil Code

If the assignor is not discharged by the assignee, any security interests that may have been granted survive. Otherwise, security interests granted by the assignor or by third parties only survive with their agreement.

If the assignor is discharged, his joint and several co-debtors remain liable after deducting their share of the debt.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1216-3

Si le cédant n’est pas libéré par le cédé, les sûretés qui ont pu être consenties subsistent. Dans le cas contraire, les sûretés consenties par le cédant ou par des tiers ne subsistent qu’avec leur accord.

Si le cédant est libéré, ses codébiteurs solidaires restent tenus déduction faite de sa part dans la dette.
