Description:
The natural and half-natural fluvial landscapes of the Rhône's valley in Péage-de-Roussillon area have been modified by different human interventions. Their improvements by the riparians had consequences on their composition but never on their dynamic. On the other hand, the dams of the XlXth Century have stopped the fluvial dynamic and favoured the forest places. The planning of the river by the Compagnie Nationale du Rhône have differenciated sectors partly saved, and sectors upset where new landscapes have appeared. Whatever their genesis may be, it is necessary to preserve the most interesting environment.
