Summary/Abstract: This paper is a first step towards exploring the re-use of industrial heritage in the Natural Regional Park of Monts d’Ardèche, studied during a CIFRE thesis in geography. The paper first underlines the paradox of these heritages, conceptualised as margins, and then offers an overview of their reconversions in the Ardèche based on our inventory of industrial sites. The objective is to identify what these projects question in terms of heritage resources, living and commons. The development of some inventive re-uses, approached as case studies in our research, brings us to discussing their impact on rural areas and more generally on current societal changes
