1. ““Our law is clear, and the jurisprudence well settled, that the terms of a written contract may not be varied by parol. La.C.C. Art. 2276; Snow-White Roofs, Inc. v. Boucher, La.App., 182 So.2d 846 ; and cases cited therein. Here plaintiff seeks to vary the terms of the note and act of sale, which provide in no uncertain terms that the monthly payments are to be applied first to interest and then to principal, by saying that such payments are also to be applied to taxes, insurance, repairs, etc. This contention flies in the face of the parol evidence rule and we may not allow it. The payments made by the Plezes whatever their amount, should have been applied only to interest and principal.””
