Article 918 of the French Civil Code

The value of the full ownership of the property alienated, either on payment of a life annuity, or on a non-refundable basis, or with reservation of usufruct to one of the successors in the direct line, is deducted from the available portion. Any excess is subject to reduction. This deduction and reduction may only be requested by those of the other successors in the direct line who have not consented to these alienations.

Article 918

La valeur en pleine propriété des biens aliénés, soit à charge de rente viagère, soit à fonds perdus, ou avec réserve d’usufruit à l’un des successibles en ligne directe, est imputée sur la quotité disponible. L’éventuel excédent est sujet à réduction. Cette imputation et cette réduction ne peuvent être demandées que par ceux des autres successibles en ligne directe qui n’ont pas consenti à ces aliénations.
