The centre-east of France
Abstract
International audience The ten departments that occupy the centre-east of France form a coherent geographical and historical whole, marked by sharp environmental contrasts. In the north-west, the successive halos of the Paris Basin cover the departments of Yonne, Aube and Haute-Marne and the north-west of the departments of Nièvre and Côte-d'Or. They determine quite marked landscape contrasts, where the guiding lines, south-east / north-west valleys and south-west / north-east cuesta, form a remarkably regular network.
