Résumé anglais This paper looks at changing spatial patterns of social contact in Southern Ardèche over the period from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day, in the general context of severe rural depopulation. This is attempted by using the distances between the places of residence of marriage partners at the time of marriage. Data is analysed by means of simple regression techniques for a sample of seventy communes. The data are obtained from the Actes de Mariage of the Registres d'Etat Civil, and the communes are divided into four regional groups. It is shown that mobility for marriage was confined to very short distances in the nineteenth century but that there are significant differences between the different areas. The last century has seen a complete rupture of the social system : contact with long-distance centres has increased markedly, and this seems to have been accompanied by stability or contraction in the local field of movement for marriage.
