Over the last decade, the Aude coast went through profound changes, symbolised by the creation of the Parc Naturel Régional de la Narbonnaise by Decree of December 18th 2003. How and why this emblematic area of coastal tourism, decided at the highest governmental levels in France, went through such a radical questioning of its management methods? Central to the re-foundation of Aude coastal management, nature, and protected areas in particular, appeared to be one of the possible keys to tourist rejuvenation and land use re-planning of this Mediterranean mass tourist destination. From this standpoint, this research attempts to shed light on the contemporary stakes, the stages and the limits of the Aude "experience". Our analysis consists of three main parts, each of them shedding a different light on our subject. The first part sets out the several stages of the touristification of a littoral consisting of a mosaic of singular natural ecosystems. In order to put in perspective the changes in land-use coastal planning policies, the analysis focuses on two points: the rehabilitation of the pioneers who have "invented" the first seaside resorts at the end of the 19th century and the rereading of the heritage of the Mission Racine in the planning of a "Neo-Languedoc" devoted to mass tourism from the 1960's onwards. The second part analyses the genesis of a central actor, the Parc Naturel Régional de la Narbonnaise, which reflects the emergence of a new model of management of the Aude coast. The study of renewed planning practices reveals the quasi-systematic resort to the paradigms of environment, heritage and identity and the integration of tourist stakes in the territorial development. This recomposition of the action system and its intervention strategies already seems to reflect an attempt, still hesitating and incomplete, at integrated coastal management. By studying the management of protected areas and their social uses, the third part deals with (the question of) the production of a tourist nature that ...

En réhabilitant le rôle des premiers inventeurs de la villégiature balnéaire à la fin du XIXe siècle et en reconsidérant l'œuvre de la Mission Racine dans la construction planifiée, à partir des années 60, d'un « néo-Languedoc » voué au tourisme, cette démarche permet de mettre en perspective les mutations des politiques d'aménagement du littoral. La seconde partie déconstruit la genèse d'un acteur central, le Parc naturel régional de la Narbonnaise, qui traduit l'émergence d'un nouveau modèle de gestion du littoral audois. L'analyse des pratiques renouvelées de l'aménagement révèle le recours quasi-systématique aux paradigmes de l'environnement, du patrimoine ou de l'identité et l'intégration centrale des enjeux touristiques dans le développement territorial. Cette recomposition du système d'action et de ses modes d'intervention semble d'ores et déjà traduire une tentative, encore hésitante et incomplète, de gestion intégrée. A travers l'examen de la gestion des espaces protégés et de leurs usages sociaux, la troisième partie aborde la question de la production d'une nature touristique qui participe à la re-composition des territoires éphémères des vacances. Au delà des discours positifs de certains gestionnaires qui empruntent les arguments classiques du développement écotouristique, quelques études de cas témoignent en réalité d'une gestion insuffisante ou inadaptée des espaces protégés et démontrent que la conservation du patrimoine naturel n'est pas toujours assurée.

Colloque non encore publié ; First results of a CNRS research program about ecological engineering operation which took place in 2007-2009, this text deals with nature management on the French Guyana coast and focuses on the Conservatoire du Littoral (CL), a public agency in charge of the protection of coastal areas. Since its creation in 1975, the CL has become the first landlord of coastal zones in all the French territories, protecting natural areas and landscapes in most cases from urbanisation. Dealing with local stakeholders to undertake nature management in its properties, the nature management system initiated by the CL is a mix between top-down and bottom-up territorial action. In a context of a falling public authoritary, the Guyana coast gives the opportunity to study how the CL is dealing with local stakeholders when political and cultural issues are very far away from its own 2005-2050 long term strategy initiated in the French metropolis. Even though the CL's legitimacy is defined by the state laws, its action is sometimes made difficult by a dynamic demography, identity struggles, cultural complaints and international scale ecological issues, limiting the social acceptance and actual realisation of nature protection and management. Nevertheless, the public agency keeps re-assessing its legitimacy in the local context, and shows its own ability not only to keep the system working – however difficult the relation with stakeholders may be – but also to build a pragmatic and original project. Indeed, the management and development plan analysis and the stakeholders' discourse database reveal the beginning of a governance under construction. In order to reinforce the social acceptance of nature protection, natural areas are often proposed as public spaces where ecotourism practices are systematically promoted. But is that model ecologically and socially efficient? ; Cet article s'attache à restituer les principaux résultats d'une recherche financée en 2007-2009 dans le cadre d'un programme ...
