Article 529 of the French Civil Code

Bonds and shares whose object is sums payable or movable effects, shares or interests in finance, commercial or industrial companies, even if immovables dependent on these companies belong to the companies, are movable by determination of the law. These shares or interests are deemed to be movable with respect to each partner only, for as long as the company lasts.

Perpetual or life annuities, either on the State or on private individuals, are also movable by determination of the law.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 529

Sont meubles par la détermination de la loi les obligations et actions qui ont pour objet des sommes exigibles ou des effets mobiliers, les actions ou intérêts dans les compagnies de finance, de commerce ou d’industrie, encore que des immeubles dépendant de ces entreprises appartiennent aux compagnies. Ces actions ou intérêts sont réputés meubles à l’égard de chaque associé seulement, tant que dure la société.

Sont aussi meubles par la détermination de la loi les rentes perpétuelles ou viagères, soit sur l’Etat, soit sur des particuliers.
