Article 1999. The hotel-keeper is liable for the

vehicles, animals and Articles which have been

introduced or placed in the annexes of the

hotel. (n)

Article 2000. The responsibility referred to in

the two preceding Articles shall include the loss

of, or injury to the personal property of the

guests caused by the servants or employees of

the keepers of hotels or inns as well as

strangers; but not that which may proceed from

any force majeure. The fact that travellers are

constrained to rely on the vigilance of the

keeper of the hotels or inns shall be considered

in determining the degree of care required of

him. (1784a)
