Article 699 of the French Civil Code

In the very case where the owner of the land subject to the easement is charged by the title to make at his own expense the works necessary for the use or conservation of the easement, he may always free himself from the charge, by abandoning the land subject to the easement to the owner of the land to which the easement is due.
