French criminal code

The French criminal code (French: Code pénal français) is the codification of French criminal law (droit pénal). It took effect on 1 March 1994 and replaced the French Penal Code of 1810, which had until then been in effect. This in turn has become known as the "old penal code" in the rare decisions that still need to apply it.
