Abstract
The reform passed in 2016 has deeply affected the structure of Book III of the Code Napoléon and re-founded the whole law of contract and obligations within the French legal system. The article seeks to give an account of the major changes occurred in basic concepts and terminology and to compare them to other civil law jurisdictions, particularly the Italian one.
