Résumé anglais The Moselle river is the most morphologically active among the rivers of northeastern France. Several studies of the fluvial bed during the past twenty years have shown the strength of development processes when the river develops a strong morphological activity when it leaves the Vosges mountains and flows across the Lorraine plateau. Wherever the floodplain has been less affected by gravel pits, the present evolution of the stream bed combines both responses to hydrological events and adjustments to embanking on upstream or downstream reaches. The present diagnosis appraises the nature and the speed of channel changes, on the basis of maps and aerial photos that have been produced over the last fifty years. It accounts for the main channel features : bank-cavings and gravel bars, meanders and their cut-off, initial forms of défluviation, entrenchment or raising up of the bed bottom, etc. Such a study can be used as a suitable tool for optimal economic and environment choices in the field of water and river management.
