Abstract: [In metropolitan France, the Ministry of Defense occupied, all-inclusive, the equivalent of half a French department, 268,000 hectares exactly. However, since the late 1980s, this heritage has been restructured for several reasons. First, the need for military rights-of-way changes with the evolution of military doctrine. Then, the techniques are transformed, making the old semaphores useless. Not to mention the abolition of the national service which reduces the number of employees and imposed various changes in order to succeed in professionalization. The result is a large number of unnecessary military rights-of-way, which the army is trying to convert back into the civil sector, that is to sell, with the proceeds being returned to the Ministry of Defense's budget.]
