Article 932 of the French Civil Code

The gift inter vivos shall not bind the donor, and shall not produce any effect, until the day on which it has been accepted in express terms.

The acceptance may be made during the donor’s lifetime by a subsequent and authenticated deed, of which a copy shall remain; but then the gift shall not have any effect, with regard to the donor, until the day on which the deed recording this acceptance has been notified to him.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 932

La donation entre vifs n’engagera le donateur, et ne produira aucun effet, que du jour qu’elle aura été acceptée en termes exprès.

L’acceptation pourra être faite du vivant du donateur par un acte postérieur et authentique, dont il restera minute ; mais alors la donation n’aura d’effet, à l’égard du donateur, que du jour où l’acte qui constatera cette acceptation lui aura été notifié.
