Article 649. The owner, or any person who by

virtue of a real right may cultivate or use any

immovable, which is surrounded by other

immovables pertaining to other persons and

without adequate outlet to a public highway, is

entitled to demand a right of way through the

neighboring estates, after payment of the

proper indemnity.

Should this easement be established in such a

manner that its use may be continuous for all

the needs of the dominant estate, establishing

a permanent passage, the indemnity shall

consist of the value of the land occupied and

the amount of the damage caused to the

servient estate.
