Vulcanism and Prehistory in the massif central of France : Future Prospects for Sustainable Development of Rural Highlands
Résumé
If recent huge projects in Auvergne, as Vulcania near Clermont-Ferrand for example, try to use vulcanism as a matter of sustainable local development, attracting either seasonal touristic flow or all-year academic activities, the remote highlands of Velay begin to discover that archaeology and vulcanism make an original combination to increase interest of populations and can be a key for sustainable rural development.
