Article 696 of the French Civil Code

When one establishes an easement, one is supposed to grant all that is necessary to use it.

Thus the easement to draw water from another’s fountain necessarily carries with it the right of way.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 696

Quand on établit une servitude, on est censé accorder tout ce qui est nécessaire pour en user.

Ainsi la servitude de puiser l’eau à la fontaine d’autrui emporte nécessairement le droit de passage.
