Article L342-26-1 of the French Tourism Code

When the easement instituted in application of articles L. 342-20 to L. 342-23 is likely to seriously compromise the agricultural or forestry use of the encumbered land, its owner(s) may, from the date of publication of the deed creating the easement, give formal notice to its beneficiary to acquire the encumbered land under the conditions and within the timeframes set out in articles L. 230-1 et seq. of the town planning code.

In the absence of an amicable agreement, the price is set in accordance with the rules set out in articles L. 342-25 and L. 342-26 of this code. If, three months after expiry of the period mentioned in the first paragraph of article L. 230-3 of the town planning code, the expropriation judge has not been seized, the easement is no longer enforceable against the owner or third parties.

Article L342-26-1

Lorsque la servitude instituée en application des articles L. 342-20 à L. 342-23 est susceptible de compromettre gravement l’exploitation agricole ou sylvicole d’un terrain grevé, son ou ses propriétaires peuvent, à compter de la publication de l’acte créant la servitude, mettre en demeure son bénéficiaire de procéder à l’acquisition du terrain grevé dans les conditions et délais prévus aux articles L. 230-1 et suivants du code de l’urbanisme.


A défaut d’accord amiable, le prix est fixé selon les règles énoncées aux articles L. 342-25 et L. 342-26 du présent code. Si, trois mois après l’expiration du délai mentionné au premier alinéa de l’article L. 230-3 du code de l’urbanisme, le juge de l’expropriation n’a pas été saisi, la servitude n’est plus opposable au propriétaire comme aux tiers.
