Article 1652 of the French Civil Code

The buyer owes interest on the sale price until payment of the principal, in the following three cases:

If it was so agreed at the time of the sale;

If the thing sold and delivered produces fruit or other income;

If the buyer has been summoned to pay.

In the latter case, interest runs only from the summons.
