Restoration of the Cérou (Tarn region) image

Abstract

The Cérou is a tributary of the Aveyron river, located North of the Tarn Department. The Segala Carmausin communities have expressed the wish to set up a river contract and to insure its viability by using a SAGE procedure for a Cérou watershed. The synthesis note presented in this document summarizes the Artline office's approach; It tried to highlight the landscape values to be taken into account in the future river rearrangements. The study classically started by an assessment that allowed to identify the landscape units related to the river. After discovering that the level of local appropriation of this landscape was very low, the team organized a prospective brainstorming with the various actors concerned by the river rearrangement, and got involved in the set up of the « Scheme of intervention on the Cérou ». The landscape study allowed to generate a local dynamics and a program of actions for the renovation of the Cérou image and for the assertion of a landscape identity of the river and of its related landscapes.
