Posterity

The Coutume of Paris is a general habit; It applies in all arise it from the Parlement of Paris, and to compensate for the silence of the local habits in all the other countries, except those of Bordeaux, of Languedoc, of Plate, Béarn, Burgundy and Flanders which follows the Right-Writing.

It applies to the linear seigniories set up along the channels. (1638, Letters patent relating to the Channel of Briare).

The Coutume of Paris is introduced with the Canada by the Compagnie of the Hundred-Associates in 1627 then becomes the only legal system of the News-France in 1664.

The Civil code of the French of 1804 takes again a great number of provisions of the Coutume of Paris , in particular all the articles on the rights in rem (rental constraints, sights, joint ownership, fences, beams, repairs.) and certain provisions as regards right of the family (goods in community, wills.).
