Article 700 of the French Civil Code

If the inheritance for which the easement was established comes to be divided, the easement remains due for each portion, without, however, the condition of the land subject to it being aggravated.

Thus, for example, if it is a right of way, all the co-owners will be obliged to exercise it through the same place.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 700

Si l’héritage pour lequel la servitude a été établie vient à être divisé, la servitude reste due pour chaque portion, sans néanmoins que la condition du fonds assujetti soit aggravée.

Ainsi, par exemple, s’il s’agit d’un droit de passage, tous les copropriétaires seront obligés de l’exercer par le même endroit.
