| Résumé anglais |
Until 1960, navigation of the Rhône was difficult, but since then, the river has been accessible to push-barge convoys and fluvio-maritime vessels between Lyon and Fos-sur-Mer. Despite periods of economic difficulty, this has resulted in an increase and diversification of traffic. Simultaneously, the fleet of Rhône vessels has been partialy renewed and new ports created. These ports, which have been planned as multi-modal platforms, offer a wider range of services (storage and packaging) while river-based leisure and tourist activities havec developed. An overall assessment of these changes shaws numerous positive effects for the whole valley, especially with respect to urban development. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
