What's different about an NDA in France
French law imposes a statutory duty of confidentiality on negotiation information under Civil Code article 1112-2, even where no NDA exists, so a signed NDA in France reinforces and specifies a duty the law already imposes rather than creating one from nothing. Contracts may be executed in English, but a French translation is required if the agreement is relied on in French court.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an NDA to protect confidential information shared in France?
French law already imposes a statutory confidentiality duty on negotiation information (Civil Code art 1112-2) even without one, though a signed NDA still specifies scope and remedies more precisely.
