Article 2424 of the French Civil Code

For the purposes of their registration, mortgages on the lots of an immovable subject to the status of co-ownership are deemed not to encumber the share of the common parts included in these lots. However, registered creditors exercise their rights over the said share as it exists at the time of the transfer, the price of which forms the subject of the distribution; this share is considered to be encumbered by the same securities as the private portions and by these securities only.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 2424

Pour les besoins de leur inscription, les hypothèques portant sur des lots dépendant d’un immeuble soumis au statut de la copropriété sont réputés ne pas grever la quote-part de parties communes comprise dans ces lots. Néanmoins, les créanciers inscrits exercent leurs droits sur ladite quote-part prise dans sa consistance au moment de la mutation dont le prix forme l’objet de la distribution ; cette quote-part est tenue pour grevée des mêmes sûretés que les parties privatives et de ces seules sûretés.
