Article 688 of the French Civil Code

Easements are either continuous or discontinuous.

Continuous servitudes are those whose use is or can be continuous without needing the actual act of man: such are water pipes, sewers, views and the like of this kind.

Discontinuous servitudes are those which need the actual act of man to be exercised: such are rights of way, drawing, grazing and the like.

Les servitudes discontinues sont celles qui ont besoin du fait actuel de l’homme pour être exercées : tels sont les droits de passage, puisage, pacage et autres semblables.
