Abstract: The Eastern France high speed railway (Eastern HSR) will bring into service in 2007. This line should modify the conditions of accessibility of several cities of the Champagne-Ardenne area to Paris, as to provincial towns connected to network Eastern HSR. The aim of this paper is to appraise the potential effects of HSR on the territorial cohesion of the Champagne-Ardenne area. Can HSR contribute to reinforce the territorial cohesion of the Champagne-Ardenne area, today weak, or on the contrary, to accentuate its current territorial bursting ? The possible prospective analyses in terms of regional cohesion go from the most pessimistic assumptions (bursting of the area) to most optimistic (emergence of a regional metropolis diffusing its effects on the area). But the scenario which will be carried out is still very open insofar as it depends on the policies followed by the local actors and on their coordination.
