Les migrations résidentielles des Britanniques et des Néerlandais
Abstract
This article attempts to review North-European residential migrations, specifically British and Dutch ones, affecting rural areas of French middle mountains regions. After describing the dynamics of these movements of settlement, relatively sensitive to economic conditions, and the geography of these migrations, it sketches a portrait of the foreign residents by emphasizing the diversity of their profiles and their recent evolution. Then it questions the determinants of their migrations and their location criteria in the rural areas of low mountain ranges.
