Article 1865 of the French Civil Code

A transfer of company shares must be evidenced in writing. It is made enforceable against the company in the forms provided for in Article 1690 or, if the Articles of Association so stipulate, by transfer to the company’s registers.

It may not be relied on as against third parties until these formalities have been completed and it has been published in the Trade and Companies Register; this filing may be made electronically.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1865

La cession de parts sociales doit être constatée par écrit. Elle est rendue opposable à la société dans les formes prévues à l’article 1690 ou, si les statuts le stipulent, par transfert sur les registres de la société.

Elle n’est opposable aux tiers qu’après accomplissement de ces formalités et après publication au registre du commerce et des sociétés ; ce dépôt peut être effectué par voie électronique.
