Article 689 of the French Civil Code

Easements are either apparent or non-apparent.

Apparent easements are those which are announced by external works, such as a door, a window, an aqueduct.

Non-apparent easements are those which have no external sign of their existence, such as, for example, a prohibition on building on a piece of land, or on building only to a specific height.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 689

Les servitudes sont apparentes ou non apparentes.

Les servitudes apparentes sont celles qui s’annoncent par des ouvrages extérieurs, tels qu’une porte, une fenêtre, un aqueduc.

Les servitudes non apparentes sont celles qui n’ont pas de signe extérieur de leur existence, comme, par exemple, la prohibition de bâtir sur un fonds, ou de ne bâtir qu’à une hauteur déterminée.
