Résumé anglais Boar-Hunting Passion in a Cévenol District. Boar- hunting appeared in the cévenol district of Valleraugue at the beginning of the century. At first there were only a few hunters, then small groups, and in the last ten years they organized themselves in a sort of team-game, in which the major part of the men of the district participate. This paper tries to show that such a craze is directly linked with the social change. In this district which completely lost its rural traditions, boar hunting is the only local activity which allows the inhabitants to assert their mastery over the land and their cévenol identity.Boar- hunting is a passion because it backs up an identity which was dying out.
