Résumé anglais Patrimony and Spatial Organization of a Rural Area: The Case of the Espinouse. This article gives an account of the investigation carried out by a group of CNRS geographers on the Southern border of the Massif Central. It presents the problems declining rural collectivities have to face. These are deeply divided and literally besieged by the environing and "embracing" society. The outside power — lumbering administration, technocracy, private benefits — is wielded with ever increasing efficiency, thus dissolving traditional solidarities, through the collaboration of some notables, and leaving to a few resisting farms the shrinking space abandoned to the peasants. Installations of urban origin (such as sanitary services) and the ephemeral presence of the summer tourists are maintaining an appearance of local life, though alienating it completely as far as economic and ideological matters are concerned. technocracy, private benefits — is wielded with ever increasing efficiency, thus dissolving traditional solidarities, through the collaboration of some notables, and leaving to a few resisting farms the shrinking space abandoned to the peasants.
