Article L131-30 of the French Monetary and Financial Code

The guarantor is bound in the same way as the person he has guaranteed.

His undertaking is valid even if the obligation he has guaranteed would be null and void for any reason other than a formal defect.

When he pays the cheque, the guarantor acquires the rights resulting from the cheque against the guaranteed party and against those who are liable to the guaranteed party by virtue of the cheque.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L131-30

Le donneur d’aval est tenu de la même manière que celui dont il s’est porté garant.

Son engagement est valable, alors même que l’obligation qu’il a garantie serait nulle pour toute cause autre qu’un vice de forme.

Quand il paie le chèque, le donneur d’aval acquiert les droits résultant du chèque contre le garanti et contre ceux qui sont tenus envers ce dernier en vertu du chèque.
