Article 1875 of the French Civil Code
A loan for use is a contract by which one of the parties delivers a thing to the other for use, with the onus on the taker to return it after use.
Home | French Legislation Articles | French Civil Code | Book III: Different ways of acquiring property | Title X: Loans | Chapter I: Loan for use, or commodat | Section 1: The nature of a loan for use.
A loan for use is a contract by which one of the parties delivers a thing to the other for use, with the onus on the taker to return it after use.
The lender remains the owner of the thing lent.
Anything that is in commerce, and not consumed by use, may be the subject of this convention.
The commitments which are formed by a loan for use pass to the heirs of the one who lends, and to the heirs of the one who borrows. But if one has lent only in consideration of the borrower, and to him personally, then his heirs cannot continue to enjoy the thing lent.
