Résumé anglais Rural geography deals with space occupied by countries and little towns linked to them. The peasant society which built this space for centuries is disorganized by the rapid expansion of the urban society, since the beginning of the fifties, with the heavy economic growth. The very question which is submitted by the rural milieu to rural geography is this one : is an indigenous development possible ? This study takes into consideration industrialized countries. The peasant society gave to countrymen irreductible characteristics. We find them blocking any kind of evolution in the traditional societies. They justify the originality of the progressive countries, which assumed modernism, while keeping their identity. They did not disappear in countries where, for ideological or economic reasons, efforts have been developed to eliminate peasantry.
