Article 866 of the French Civil Code

Reportable sums bear interest at the legal rate, unless otherwise stipulated.

This interest accrues from the opening of the succession when the heir owed it to the deceased and from the day the debt is due, when it arose during the joint ownership.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 866

Les sommes rapportables produisent intérêt au taux légal, sauf stipulation contraire.

Ces intérêts courent depuis l’ouverture de la succession lorsque l’héritier en était débiteur envers le défunt et à compter du jour où la dette est exigible, lorsque celle-ci est survenue durant l’indivision.
