Is it possible to sell a plot of land for the symbolic price of €1?

No. In matters of sale, the price is an essential condition of the contract (Article 1583 of the French Civil Code). The law provides that the price must be determined by the parties (Article 1591 of the French Civil Code), and case law considers that it must be real and serious. However, sales for the symbolic price of €1 are accepted where the property being sold has no value or where there is another form of consideration for the transfer of ownership.
