1. ““ * * * The jurisprudence supports plaintiff’s position in this regard and it is so well established under LSA-C.C. Art. 2276 that parol evidence, in the absence of allegations and proof of fraud or error, is inadmissible to contradict, alter or vary, or add to or subtract from a written contract as to obviate the necessity of citing authorities in support of the proposition. Therefore, so far as such testimony purports to place upon plaintiff a more onerous obligation than contracted in the aforesaid lease, such evidence is amenable to this rule of evidence, and the objection thereto, at least, to the extent and purpose, if it be, of altering, contradicting or varying the written lease, should have been sustained and, for such purpose, will not be given consideration in the resolution of the issues presented here.” ( 95 So.2d 353, 354 .)”
