Description
Summary:The Garonne between Toulouse and the confluence of the Tarn is composed of many wetlands. Here, various protective devices would label a "wild" dimension to the river, supporting its maintenance and conservation without actually questioning their original condition. Given this situation, how to consider the part of naturalness of river landscapes of the Garonne today?
