I'm all up on the 1810 Code thanks to Mis fandom; e.g. turned up the court forms and could file the requisite application papers for a hypothetical 1832 court pardon for our man Valjean.
Pre-Code, pre-1789 ancien regime is more tricky since the online resources seem more limited, but the standard place to start is a good textbook - eg one of the resources suggested by Harvard's French-centric Continental Legal History course, O. F. Robinson, T. D. Fergus and W. M. Gordon, An Introduction to European Legal History, 2d ed. (London: Butterworths, 1994). Are you near a good law library in Boston/can hie yourself to Cambridge and talk yourself into the Harvard one? In any case, let me review your particular succession question and have a think about how otherwise to approach the search.
