The case studied here deals withthe most westerly part of the Mediterranean,providing access to the continent through thenetwork of routes from the areas around theAquitaine isthmus and the Rhône isthmus as far asthe Rhine and Garonne basins and out to the AtlanticOcean. It looks at dynamic trends, phenomena whichvary over time, just as contexts and economiccircumstances may vary. These trends are integratedwithin the space formed by the routes created andused by people.
