Article L3121-4 of the French Labour Code

Time spent travelling to and from the place of performance of the employment contract does not constitute actual working time.

However, if it exceeds the normal commuting time between home and the usual place of work, it is compensated either in the form of rest or in financial terms. The part of this business travel time that coincides with working hours does not entail any loss of pay.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L3121-4

Le temps de déplacement professionnel pour se rendre sur le lieu d’exécution du contrat de travail n’est pas un temps de travail effectif.

Toutefois, s’il dépasse le temps normal de trajet entre le domicile et le lieu habituel de travail, il fait l’objet d’une contrepartie soit sous forme de repos, soit sous forme financière. La part de ce temps de déplacement professionnel coïncidant avec l’horaire de travail n’entraîne aucune perte de salaire.
