description Set within the town and its suburbs, surrounded by road facilities and lined up with the Orly airport air routes, the territory of the small gardens studied here covers 90 hectares and is situated about 15 kms South of Paris, at the end of the Hurepoix Plateau; this territory managed to keep its qualities thanks to a constant and strong political will. This landscape is preserved, but not intact however, for its occupation has changed. If you look closely, you will see uncultivated plots, ageing fruit trees, traces of old orchards, but also signs of furtive, subsistence or pleasure gardening. The real value of the area studied here lies in its non-permanent and undetermined character. It is a welcoming place from an environmental, agro-economical and social point of view. The saltus of the piedmont plain of the Rocher at Saulx-les-Chartreux is a mixed third -party area between agriculture, gardens and nature, a half-urban half-rural territory, a living heritage which is shared and needs to be cultivated.
