Article 1873-16 of the French Civil Code

Where undivided property is encumbered by a usufruct, agreements, subject in principle to the provisions of the preceding chapter, may be concluded either between the bare owners or between the usufructuaries, or between each of them. There may likewise be an agreement between those who are undivided for the enjoyment and the one who is bare owner of all the property, as well as between the universal usufructuary and the bare owners.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1873-16

Lorsque les biens indivis sont grevés d’un usufruit, des conventions, soumises en principe aux dispositions du chapitre précédent, peuvent être conclues, soit entre les nus-propriétaires, soit entre les usufruitiers, soit entre les uns et les autres. Il peut y avoir pareillement convention entre ceux qui sont en indivision pour la jouissance et celui qui est nu-propriétaire de tous les biens, de même qu’entre l’usufruitier universel et les nus-propriétaires.
