Article L6342-1 of the French Labour Code

Any person attending a continuing vocational training course under the terms of this Book shall be compulsorily affiliated to a social security scheme.

Trainees who were covered by a social security scheme in any capacity whatsoever prior to their training period remain affiliated to that scheme for the duration of their training period.

Trainees who were not covered by any scheme are affiliated to the general social security scheme.

However, exceptions may, by decree, be made to the rule laid down in the second and third paragraphs when the training course followed prepares exclusively and directly for a profession covered by a more favourable social security scheme than the general scheme.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L6342-1

Toute personne qui suit un stage de formation professionnelle continue en vertu du présent livre est obligatoirement affiliée à un régime de sécurité sociale.

Le stagiaire qui, avant son stage, relevait, à quelque titre que ce soit, d’un régime de sécurité sociale, reste affilié à ce régime pendant la durée de son stage.

Celui qui ne relevait d’aucun régime est affilié au régime général de sécurité sociale.

Toutefois, des exceptions peuvent, par décret, être apportées à la règle posée par les deuxième et troisième alinéas lorsque le stage de formation suivi prépare exclusivement et directement à une profession relevant d’un régime de sécurité sociale plus favorable que le régime général.
