In fact, strictly speaking, the droit du sol is not an automatic right in France, as it is for example in the US where a birth certificate is enough to get a passport.

The foundation is claiming a violation of the French concept of “droit moral,” or moral right to protect the integrity of an art work.

French law gives workers a “droit de retrait” - or “right to withdraw” - under legislation introduced by Socialist President Francois Mitterrand in the early 1980s, if they feel there is a danger to their safety.

The state law stemmed from droit de suite, the French concept of offering artists compensation for future sales.

Guenever said politely: They call it droit de seigneur in French.”
