Google said the ruling "should worry all those who defend freedom of
expression on the internet". It intends to appeal, French media say.
Mr Mosley successfully sued the UK's now-defunct News of the
World after it ran a story in 2008 claiming he had organised an orgy
with Nazi overtones.
He won damages for breach of privacy.
The News of the World secretly filmed the former president of
motor sport's world governing body with five prostitutes and published a
front-page story.
He won £60,000 ($90,000) damages after a judge ruled that
there was no substance to the allegation that there had been a Nazi
theme and found that his privacy had been breached.
'Republished again and again'
Mr Mosley won a similar ruling in France in 2011 when a judge
ordered the newspaper's owner News Corp to pay £32,000 ($48,000) in
costs and damages because copies of the paper and the video were
circulated across the Channel.
Speaking in 2011, Mr Mosley told a UK inquiry into a
phone-hacking scandal at News Corp that he was pursuing legal action
against Google in Germany and France over the search results.
Mr Mosley said Google had agreed to remove links to material from the story on a case-by-case basis.
But he claimed that when he had asked the firm to
re-programme its technology to ensure it did not show up at all in
searches about him it had refused as "a matter of principle" even though
it was "technically feasible".
"I think you cannot underestimate that if someone puts a
picture on the web that they shouldn't, that will go on forever unless
action is taken," he said.
