Article 568 of the French Civil Code

Nevertheless, when the thing joined is much more valuable than the main thing, and when it has been used without the owner’s knowledge, the owner may request that the thing joined be separated in order to be returned to him, even when this could result in some deterioration of the thing to which it was joined.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 568

Néanmoins, quand la chose unie est beaucoup plus précieuse que la chose principale, et quand elle a été employée à l’insu du propriétaire, celui-ci peut demander que la chose unie soit séparée pour lui être rendue, même quand il pourrait en résulter quelque dégradation de la chose à laquelle elle a été jointe.
