Résumé anglais Agriculture and Tourism in a Moutain Environment : The Case of the Briançonnais (Hautes- Alpes). This article seeks to understand the evolution of moutain ecosystems through that of the societies involved. In the course of the last century, the multiple inroads of the capitalist system have brought about, at Monêtier-les-Bains (Hautes-Alpes), a pronounced social differentiation which has transformed the peasants into shopkeepers or mine-workers, and induced their children to enter the tourist business or to become farmers. As for the new generation, they are neither workers nor shopkeepers nor agriculturists. Likewise lands which used to have a definite calling — collectively determined — are nowadays retimbered, mowed, cultivated or grazed according to the year and to the individual who assumes ownership over them. The confusion thus created has opened the way to the tourist-trade which has taken advantage of it to colonize the village.
