The purpose of this article is to discuss together two notions that are largely put forward and criticised in the field of environmental management, both being equally used by the actors of forest exploitation. We shall first tackle the notion of multifunctionality and its three inseparable main aspects (economic, social an environmental). We shall draw the genealogy of such notion, while criticizing its theoretical roots and confronting it to the reality of one particular territory dominated by forests, the Massif du Vercors. This territory will allow us to tackle the second notion of sylvo-hunting balance, which will help us understand why multifunctionality somewhat remains contentious. Looking closer to the words themselves, what would be a functioning forest ?
