We begin our review of property rights in France with a consideration of the system of land registration in France. The public land registry in France is called the cadastre and the title plans are called plans cadastrales. The plans cadastrales will show a map of the boundaries and the ownership of property in France.

If there is a need to determine the boundaries of a property because the cadastre is unclear, or a plot is to be broken up into different ownerships, the process is known as bornage. The process of bornage is carried out by a land surveyor, called a géometre.

We also consider boundary wall and fence problems in France. How do you know whether your boundary wall or fence is private or in common ownership? What rights have you concerning the construction works and maintenance of boundary walls and fences?

We also consider what you can do in the event of noise nuisance problems in France, whether being caused by your neighbour, or from a commercial or industrial activity. Whilst it is always best to try and resolve the problem on an amicable basis, we consider the legal remedies to noise nuisance problems in France.

We undertake a review of the law relating to rights of way in France. Rights of way may be either those authorised in a personal basis, or a permanent servitude that runs with the property.

We consider a particular type of right of way for landlocked property called le droit de désenclavement, as well as rights of way for property maintenance, called le droit de tour d’échelle.

We also consider rights of way over land in France in connection with fishing and shooting rights in France.
