If the usufruct includes things that cannot be used without being consumed, such as money, grain, liquor, the usufructuary has the right to use them, but on condition that, at the end of the usufruct, he returns either things of the same quantity and quality or their estimated value at the date of restitution.

Si l’usufruit comprend des choses dont on ne peut faire usage sans les consommer, comme l’argent, les grains, les liqueurs, l’usufruitier a le droit de s’en servir, mais à la charge de rendre, à la fin de l’usufruit, soit des choses de même quantité et qualité soit leur valeur estimée à la date de la restitution.
