Article 1774 of the French Civil Code

A lease, without writing, of rural land, is deemed to be made for the time necessary for the lessee to collect all the fruits of the leased inheritance.

Thus the farm lease of a meadow, a vineyard, and any other land whose fruits are collected in full in the course of the year, is deemed to be made for one year.

The lease of arable land, when it is divided by soles or seasons, is deemed to be made for as many years as there are soles.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1774

Le bail, sans écrit, d’un fonds rural, est censé fait pour le temps qui est nécessaire afin que le preneur recueille tous les fruits de l’héritage affermé.

Ainsi le bail à ferme d’un pré, d’une vigne, et de tout autre fonds dont les fruits se recueillent en entier dans le cours de l’année, est censé fait pour un an.

Le bail des terres labourables, lorsqu’elles se divisent par soles ou saisons, est censé fait pour autant d’années qu’il y a de soles.
