| Résumé anglais |
Eastern slopes of Monts du Forez, South West of Montbrison (Loire) show different levels from a summit level at 1,400 meters to plaine du Forez at 400 meters high only. Differing resistance of rocks to erosion is mainly responsible of landforms although some fault scarps are very probable. Landforms are also original because of inheritance from glacial time. From localization of their forms, it is possible to characterize three zones : — lower zone where linear erosion predominates ; — uper zone with thick arenisation and senile forms ; — intermediate zone where periglacial forms are preserved only in peculiar conditions.
