Land and Community in a Parish of the Marche : an Essay on Regressive History.
Starting from the cadastre («état de section») of 1834, the author has tried to reconstitute the amount of real estate properties in Lourdoueix-Saint-Michel (canton d'Aigurande, Indre), a commune of the Marche region. Two distinct categories appear, one of domaines belonging to the rural bourgeoisie, the other of peasant holdings, both uniform in their structure and mediocre in their yields. From these clearly established data, the author draws an easy conclusion : there is an obvious filiation between the domaines and land units of seigneurial origin. Studying common lands, he finds a real similarity between them and the domaine lands. As for peasant holdings, they do not seem to have changed, neither in their structure nor in their size, for centuries long. One of the hypotheses was that, in most cases, the size of the parcelles (plots) is in proportion with the size of the holdings : the author was able to prove the fact, which helped implementing his conclusions.
