Des Immeubles

Property Law
Titre XI: De la Distinction et de la Nature des Biens (On the Distinction and Nature of Property)
Chapitre I: Des Immeubles (On Immovable Property)

Les arbres ne deviennent meubles que quand ils sont abattus.

Life lesson: A tree standing is part of the earth; a tree felled is a thing to be carried away. The axe transforms the legal character of wood.
Notes: Trees classified as immovable until felled — moment of severance from the soil changes their legal status from immovable to movable.
