Article L172-13 of the French Insurance Code

The insured risks remain covered, even in the event of fault on the part of the insured or his land agents, unless the insurer establishes that the damage is due to a lack of reasonable care on the part of the insured to protect the objects from the risks that have arisen.

The insurer is not liable for intentional or inexcusable fault on the part of the insured.

Article L172-13

Les risques assurés demeurent couverts, même en cas de faute de l’assuré ou de ses préposés terrestres, à moins que l’assureur n’établisse que le dommage est dû à un manque de soins raisonnables de la part de l’assuré pour mettre les objets à l’abri des risques survenus.

L’assureur ne répond pas des fautes intentionnelles ou inexcusables de l’assuré.
