| Résumé anglais |
First promoted as a feature of natural interest, the gorges of the Ardèche have since attracted an increasing number of visitors, linked to the growing appeal of the countryside for leisure and to the present popularity of river sports. Threatened by the success of this tourist activity the gorges were classified in 1980 as a Nature Reserve. However, this designation has only served to increase the number of visitors. Pollution is now a problem which seems unlikely to be salved simply by educating the public or by improved management. While nature-lovers protest at this situation, the people of the Ardèche are in favour of developing tourism in the gorges as a means of expanding the local economy. Only a geographical approach to this paradoxical situation would seem to offer the means to resolve the conflict between safeguarding the environment and satisfying society's leisure needs.
