Abstract
Formation of the French Variscan belt results from the punching of several blocks that form at present the internal zones, by the Catalan Craton. Montagne Noire is located at the edge of this Catalan block, where transpressional stresses predominate. The whole orogenic evolution of Montagne Noire, from deep seated metamorphic nappes to doming and late wrenching, may be explained in this transpressional context.
