Article L192-5 of the French Insurance Code

If the contract requires the reconstruction of the damaged building, the payment of the indemnity will not be enforceable against the mortgagee until one month after the insurer has notified the mortgagee that the payment will be made without it being certain that the indemnity will be used for reconstruction. Until the expiry of this period, the mortgagee may oppose payment of the insurance indemnity.

Article L192-5

Si le contrat impose la reconstruction du bâtiment sinistré, le paiement de l’indemnité n’est opposable au créancier hypothécaire qu’un mois après la notification par l’assureur de ce que le paiement se fera sans que l’affectation de l’indemnité à la reconstruction ne soit certaine. Jusqu’à l’expiration de ce délai, le créancier hypothécaire pourra s’opposer au paiement de l’indemnité d’assurance.
