Résumé anglais The Lanvaux Moor today: An Indicator of the Transformations of the Peasant Imagination Process. Traditionally associated with the life of the peasants, the Lanvaux moor has ceased to be so, and is actually becoming marginal land through the action of modern agriculture, i. e. the consolidation of holdings and mechanization. Regional perception of the moor has changed likewise, as well as its role in the symbolic and imagining process. Tales and legends are waning from the popular mind, while, to make up for it, there emerges a local passion for archeology (the moor has Megalithic, Gallic and Roman remains); as if the contemporary farmer, just as his urban cousin, felt the need to reclaim his roots and recapture his past in order to compensate for the laying "waste policy" that goes with economical development.
