Article 570 of the French Civil Code

If a craftsman or any other person has used material which did not belong to him to form a thing of a new kind, whether or not the material can return to its first form, the person who was the owner of the material has the right to reclaim the thing formed from it by reimbursing the price of the labour estimated at the date of reimbursement.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 570

Si un artisan ou une personne quelconque a employé une matière qui ne lui appartenait pas à former une chose d’une nouvelle espèce, soit que la matière puisse ou non reprendre sa première forme, celui qui en était le propriétaire a le droit de réclamer la chose qui en a été formée en remboursant le prix de la main-d’oeuvre estimée à la date du remboursement.
