Article 2266 of the French Civil Code

Those who possess for others never prescribe by any lapse of time.

Thus, the lessee, the depositary, the usufructuary and all others who precariously hold the owner’s property or right cannot prescribe it.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 2266

Ceux qui possèdent pour autrui ne prescrivent jamais par quelque laps de temps que ce soit.

Ainsi, le locataire, le dépositaire, l’usufruitier et tous autres qui détiennent précairement le bien ou le droit du propriétaire ne peuvent le prescrire.
