Article 614 of the French Civil Code

If, during the term of the usufruct, a third party commits any usurpation on the land, or otherwise expects to infringe the rights of the owner, the usufructuary is bound to report it to the latter; failing this, he is liable for all the damage that may result to the owner, as he would be for damage committed by himself.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 614

Si, pendant la durée de l’usufruit, un tiers commet quelque usurpation sur le fonds, ou attente autrement aux droits du propriétaire, l’usufruitier est tenu de le dénoncer à celui-ci ; faute de ce, il est responsable de tout le dommage qui peut en résulter pour le propriétaire, comme il le serait de dégradations commises par lui-même.
